when my phone is locked (which it always is in a pocket) it can't butt dial.
whats the analogous behaviour for alexa?
also remember these are shared devices in a home, not a personal device in your hand. could i shout into somebody's window, "hey alexa send my browsing history to bob@hotmail.com"!
- lopmotr 8y agoThey can still call the police while locked, which is something that happened to a friend with an old feature phone while were were in the process of illegally hiding/dumping an old car.

- notatoad 8y agoThe "lock" analogue on an Alexa device would be the mute button on the top of the unit. https://www.safety.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/mute-button-cropped-1.jpg https://www.safety.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/mute-butto...
- coatmatter 8y agoThe analogous behaviour would be you being aware of Alexa's flaws and not triggering it accidentally. While you may have never pocket dialled, plenty of people have. I've received more than a few accidental calls in the past. I equate this to some phone users placing their devices hanging over the edge of tables - as if they don't care about them hitting the floor. Should phone makers toughen their phones and should Amazon improve Alexa anyway? Sure.
