How to Update Alexa
Alexa, like any other technology you use, needs to be updated from time to time, but wherever you use it, from Amazon Echo speakers and displays to the Alexa app for Android or iOS, it’s easy to do.
How to update Alexa on your Echo speaker
As long as your Echo speaker is connected to the internet, Alexa should update automatically. Alternatively, you can tell the Echo speaker, “Alexa, check for updates” or “Alexa, check for software updates,” and Alexa will check to see if there are any necessary updates. If there is an update, it will automatically install it without your intervention.
How to Update Alexa in the Alexa iOS App
If you use Alexa on your phone using the Alexa app , you’ll need to update the app itself to update the voice assistant. On iOS, go to the App Store and click on your account profile in the top right corner. Then scroll down until you see Available Updates and see if the Amazon Alexa app is listed—if it is, simply select to update it.
How to Update Alexa in the Alexa Android App
If you’re using Android, open the Google Play Store and tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Manage apps and device . Go to the Available Updates section and check to see if the Alexa app is listed. If so, click Update and you’re done.
