Amazon to Let Alexa Users Delete Voice Commands
Amazon.com Inc. is updating its Alexa voice software to let users delete recordings of their voice using a spoken command, a move that follows criticism of the company’s privacy practices related to its digital assistant.
A set of updates offers users who have opted in online the ability to say “Alexa, delete everything I said today,” or, in a coming update, delete their most recent utterance. Previously, the only way to remove recordings was a tool on the Alexa privacy website or on the companion smartphone app.
