Using Photo Frame on Your Echo Show

Alexa is great, but not perfect. Alexa sometimes has issues—the amount of notifications displayed daily may be one of them depending on your preference. Regardless of which Echo Show model is right for you, their notifications by default don’t have a lot to do with your input.

Setting Up Photo Frame

Manually changing your Echo notification settings can be challenging. But if you say “Alexa, start Photo Frame,” your device will display your pictures of your family, friends, etc. The only display will be a small dateline in the bottom right showing information about the photo being displayed.

  1. At the Home screen, tap Devices.

  2. Tap Echo & Alexa.

  3. Scroll down and tap your Echo Show device.

  4. Scroll down to PHOTO DISPLAY.

Photo Frame is available in the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the UK. It’s compatible with all Echo Show models. Unlike other smart home assistants, setting Photo Frame will disable mostly all other notifications.

And after three hours, Alexa will automatically be back to suggesting recipes and telling jokes at your command

Customize Your Echo With Photo Frame

Knock, knock, who’s there? It’s Alexa, with another knee-slapping joke. But if you don’t care who is there, and you don’t think you’ll find Alexa’s joke to be funny, useful, or interesting, start Photo Frame. It’s your smart home after all, and you should choose the information that comes into it.
