A woman has revealed how she caught her unfaithful partner in the act of cheating thanks to recordings found on her Amazon speaker - a function she had no idea existed until she started doing some digging.
Many of us have smart speakers in our homes thanks to their handy voice control features and quality sound. While Amazon 's voice assistant Alexa may have become a staple in your household, few people know that these smart devices record sound across your home - leaving key evidence for people like Jessica Lowman who came across more than she bargained for when checking the recordings.
The woman took to TikTok to unveil how she found out that her ex-partner was seeing another woman, as she shared clips from a recording stored on her Amazon Alexa account that ultimately ended the relationship.
Jessica's video details a screen recording of her Alexa account, where individual clips can be played of sounds that the device has picked up. People on TikTok have been left gobsmacked at the findings, as a mysterious woman is heard shouting at the smart speaker, alongside Jessica's now ex-boyfriend.
The woman captioned the clip "So this is how I caught my ex cheating I didn't even know Alexa stored this shizzz".
In a bid to help other partners who have a hunch that their lover might be having an affair, Jessica added the words "one for the girls" onto the video.
The app shows numerous recordings under the 'voice history' section. In the first one Jessica shares, a woman is heard saying "Alexa what do you do then? Play Power Trip by Miguel".
The clip seems to insinuate that the stranger doesn't know how to use the device, and then asks it to play a song.
The next recording shows Jessica's boyfriend asking Alexa to turn the sound to 'volume eight', therefore blowing his cover as the woman was in his home with him alone.
The video has since gone viral, amassing a whopping 2.6 million views, as other women are stunned by the Alexa function and have even joked that they are going to try it on their boyfriends.
Many people joked that Alexa is helping women out with this function, as one said "Girl code alexa" and another added "BOOOM ALEXA REALLY DOING FAVOUR’s".
Others jibed that they are going to buy their partners a smart speaker after seeing the hack, with one TikToker saying "Thank you now I know to buy him an Alexa for Christmas".
One woman even revealed that she also used her Alexa app to catch her partner cheating, as she wrote: "That's the exact same way i found out too! Listened in on a full date night!".
