What is Adaptive Content?

Adaptive Content optimizes the home screen content on your Echo Show depending on your distance from the device.

Adaptive Content on your Echo Show device uses computer vision to adjust the on-screen display based on how close you are to the device. When you're close to the device, the content on the home screen changes to provide more detail. When you're farther away, it changes to be more easily viewed from a distance.

Adaptive Content also uses your device's camera to detect the proximity of a person, but is not used to identify a person. Images used for Adaptive Content are processed locally and not sent to the cloud.

Adaptive Content is an optional setting and is turned on by default. For steps to turn it on or off, go to Turn Adaptive Content On or Off.

Note: Adaptive Content will not work if your device's camera shutter is closed, or if the mute button is pressed. You can use the camera shutter and or the mute button to temporarily turn off Adaptive Content.
