I want a feature by which all voice recordings are deleted. Transcripts and summaries are fine for us. Not voice recording. We want our AI agent to listen and write. But not have a record of conversations, if that makes sense.

Great idea. We should make it an option to not retain the audio, perhaps by default delete after X days. Said differently, should be able to delete an audio recording but keep the Wave summary.

@Josh Mohrer please though, keep audio as an option. The transcripts do not always get it right, nor are the summaries always right - especially when. Identifying the speaker. The audio helps clarify points of confusion.

Please leave as optional. Having those recording accessible to find errors or transcript mis-captures are helpful when editing summaries.

@Kelly Wogan agree!

Definitely prefer the option of deleing. Agree with Kelly and Jorge.

I agree to leave this as optional. Maybe optionally, 1 month, 3 months, keep. Something like this.

Would be great if there's a option 'before' you start recording to choose between: A) With audio saved OR B) Without audio saved. I do agree with Kelly Wogan that choosing option B would be a bit of a gamble (no accurate transcription and/or no correct summary) but some parties don't appreciate the conversation being recorded and for those situations, heaving option B also, would be fantastic!

The transcript is not accurate enough to delete. This should be off by default.

Would be great to have that option to delete the recording. I'd prefer to see this as an option in case the audio is not accurate enough.

Live everywhere now, iPhone, Android, Desktop and the web, and it's built the way this thread asked for it: optional, off by default, and it never touches transcripts or summaries. Two ways to use it. Per recording: open any session and choose Delete audio (on the phone it's Delete Wave → Delete audio only). Automatic: Settings → Privacy & data → Audio retention (the Privacy tab on the web), pick 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 1 year, and audio older than that is removed on its own. Transcript, summary, chat and photos always stay. The first automatic sweep waits 24 hours after you turn it on, so you can change your mind, and it skips anything still processing. Once the audio is gone you can't play it back, re-transcribe, trim, enroll a voice for Voice ID or download it, so if you rely on the audio to check a transcript, leave it off. Lesley, there's no "don't save audio" switch before you hit record yet; the 1-day window is the closest thing today. help.wave.co/managing-sharing/automatically-delete-recordings-after-a-set-time
