Alexa devices have been extensively and repeatedly shown to not be "passively listening". The same cannot be said for phone apps.

- worik 6y agoUntrue. I am pushing the boat out because I rely on my memory. But there were reports from Apple contractors about what they heard on Sirri. It is always on, always listening.

As I recall, one could opt in (or was it opt-out?) to an Apple program to upload bits and pieces of spoken word for its people to parse "humanly" for it to improve its speech to text. I'm no Apple fan, but I'm not sure one implies the other, here.
