How to Turn Off Alexa Notifications

A voice assistant like Amazon Alexa is a handy tool to make your daily life more convenient. But, it’s not always a pleasant experience considering its endless amount of notifications. Most of them are not of huge importance as well. For instance, it can bombard you with notifications, like your Amazon package is delivered or it may reveal what product you ordered. 

So, if you’d like to change how Alexa works for you, you can simply modify its notification preferences.

How to Turn Off Alexa Notifications?

You can turn off Alexa notifications through either the app version on your phone or the web browser. You’ll find general notification settings and other settings related to your Amazon account.

Through the App

There are a variety of Alexa notifications for different occasions. So, they all have a dedicated notification setting. But, the basics to turn off notifications is through this pathway on the app version:

  1. Launch the Alexa app. 
  2. Tap on the More option and go to Settings.

The above process to turn off Alexa notifications is the same on both iOS and Android.

Another way you can turn off notifications is through the web browser on your PC. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Do Not Disturb Mode

If you want to temporarily turn off all Alexa notifications, you can put them on the Do Not Disturb mode. You can either do it by just using your voice request or through the settings on the Alexa app.

Although Alexa won’t alert you, you can still determine the notification content by checking the light rings on your Echo device. Additionally, you can also still perform a voice request in the DND mode. 

If you want to turn off a specific Alexa notification, you can continue with the content below:
