Why Is Your Amazon Echo’s Light Yellow?
Amazon Echo speakers are available in all shapes, sizes and designs. However, all Echo speakers have one thing in common: an LED indicator. Often the light appears as a yellow ring, but it is unclear what it means. The good news is that it’s not a bad thing.
What does the yellow Echo ring look like?
When the yellow ring appears on your Echo device, it usually blinks for a few seconds, then disappears, and then appears again. Sometimes the yellow light is accompanied by a beep, but it’s hard to miss.
For those who have a traditional Echo speaker like the Echo Dot or standard Echo, a yellow light will appear in the LED ring around your speaker. On Echo Show devices, you will see a yellow light at the top of the screen.
What does the yellow Echo ring mean?
A yellow ring on your Echo device means Alexa has something to tell you. Specifically, this means that you have an unread reminder, notification, or message.
If you previously set a reminder through Alexa but forgot about it, the yellow ring is Alexa’s way of alerting you: “Hey, you have a reminder. Please ask me about it.”
How to Check Alexa Notifications and Reminders
To get rid of a reminder or message, simply say, “Alexa, play my message” or “Alexa, check my notifications,” and Alexa will notify you about missed notifications. You can also check missed notifications using the Alexa app . If the yellow ring still appears on your Echo speaker, you may need to delete any reminders that you no longer need.
Sometimes the yellow light is used as a notification for Amazon shipping notifications. If you’d rather not have your Echo send you a delivery notification, here’s how to turn it off: Go to the Alexa app, then tap More in the bottom right corner. Then tap Settings and scroll down to Notifications . Then click on “Shopping on Amazon “: you should see options to allow Alexa to notify you when items have been delivered, as well as return updates.
