Learn About Using Alexa on Your Fire Tablet

Ask questions, shop, search, play music, and more on your compatible Fire tablet.

Amazon designs Alexa with multiple layers of privacy protection:

When you want to talk to Alexa, you have to first wake up your tablet by using the wake word (for example, "Alexa") or another wake word that you have set up. Only then does the device begin recording and sending your request to Amazon's secure cloud.
All of your interactions with Alexa are encrypted in transit to Amazon's cloud where they are securely stored.
You'll always know when Alexa is recording and sending your request to Amazon's secure cloud because a blue light bar appears on your tablet.
To view, hear, or delete your recordings, go to Alexa Privacy Hub (https://www.amazon.co.uk/b/?node=17084411031) or the Alexa app. To delete by voice, say, "Delete what I just said," or "Delete everything I said today."
To disable Alexa hands-free, use the Alexa Hands-Free Mode on/off switch in your tablet settings.

Note: You must log in with your main profile to use Alexa features on your Fire Tablet. Secondary profiles, such as child profiles, can't access Alexa features.
