<P> On 27 September 2017, Amazon announced the Echo Plus, scheduled for release on 31 October 2017 . It shares design similarities with the first - generation Echo, but also doubles as a smart home hub, connecting to most common wireless protocols to control connected smart devices within a home . It incorporates 7 second - generation far field microphones and noise cancellation, while also supporting Dolby Sound . </P> <P> Along with the second - generation Echo, Amazon announced two new accessories . The Echo Buttons can be used while playing games on Echo devices, such as Jeopardy! . The Echo Connect is a small adapter that plugs into any Echo and a home phone line, allowing the Echo to make voice calls through your home phone number . </P> <P> There are concerns about the access Echo has to private conversations in the home, or other non-verbal indications that can identify who is present in the home and who is not--based on audible cues such as footstep - cadence or radio / television programming . Amazon responds to these concerns by stating that Echo only streams recordings from the user's home when the' wake word' activates the device, though the device is technically capable of streaming voice recordings at all times, and in fact will always be listening to detect if a user has uttered the word . </P> <P> Echo uses past voice recordings the user has sent to the cloud service to improve response to future questions the user may pose . To address privacy concerns, the user can delete voice recordings that are currently associated with the user's account, but doing so may degrade the user's experience using voice search . To delete these recordings, the user can visit the Manage My Device page on Amazon.com or contact Amazon customer service . </P>
