Has anyone, Amazon or otherwise, clarified what the Echo is actually recording? If anything? My use of the Echo and my reading of the information available from Amazon indicated that nothing of any value was ever recorded/saved.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I see now that the app has a history of my commands and their audio recordings. Which is actually kind of creepy. But then I wonder why the police don't just check this guy's Alexa app on his phone. And maybe that's the real question - are they asking Amazon to provide some sort of recording of everything the device heard that night?
- supergeek133 10y agoNo, they're asking amazon to provide everything it recorded. Publicly they're saying it might have been accidentally triggered (e.g, device thinking it heard the wakeword) Privately, they're hoping it records everything. However to date, wireshark investigations and other forensics people have done proves it only sends data to the cloud when you ask it the wakeword.
