If you're worried about what exactly Amazon's Echo-connected speaker has been recording in your home, there's an easy way to find out.
Amazon makes all recent recordings available for listening in the companion Alexa app for iOS and Android.
Amazon has said consistently that the Echo speakers only listen in and record after you use the wake word, usually "Alexa," to make your request. But last week it was revealed that a recording of a Portland woman was sent accidentally to someone in the family's contact list.
Amazon has said it's looking into what happened to prevent similar situations in the future.
