Some experts advise against keeping an Amazon Echo Dot in your bedroom because it’s always recording and can capture personal conversations. However, others say you can keep your Alexa device anywhere in your home.

Here are some reasons why you might not want to keep an Echo Dot in your bedroom:

  • Privacy: The microphone on an Echo Dot is always active and can record your conversations without your consent.
  • Trigger sound: The trigger sound can activate the device and start recording.

If you do decide to keep an Echo Dot in your bedroom, you can use sleep timers to turn off the audio and dim the lights when you fall asleep.

If you want to use an Alexa device in your bedroom, you can consider an Echo Show, which can also be used to watch movies and check the weather. You can also try the 5th generation Echo Dot, which has a built-in LED clock that can show the weather and song titles.

The Amazon Echo Show 10 is a marvellous smart home console that can respond by swivelling the screen in the direction of the user speaking in reference to the device. There must be at least 5x microphones on the Echo Show 10 which can sense where in the room the user is speaking from.

Phone record stuff all the time that’s the only reason battery :battery: comes now inbuilt !

But they record or not what’s the point only if it’s impact your personal or physically we could report.

Just think that God stopped watching you all the time.
