Amazon has announced that starting March 28, 2025, the 'Do Not Send Voice Recordings' option for its Echo devices will be discontinued, meaning users' voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing. This decision is tied to the expansion of Alexa's generative AI capabilities, which require more cloud resources. Though recordings will be deleted after processing, users who opt for the 'Don't save recordings' setting may lose access to personalized features like Voice ID, which provides tailored functionality, including reminders and calendar access.
