Pick a photo that makes you smile for your Echo Show

Display your favorite travel photos

I’m ready for a rewind to last summer (or really any other summer!).

If you want to look back like I do, your Echo Show is the perfect place to display a picture that makes you happy — and helps you remember that, eventually, we will get back to those happier times.

Easily display your favorite photo on your Echo Show home screen:

1. Open the Alexa app
2. Tap “Devices” in the bottom navigation bar
3. Tap “Echo & Alexa”
4. Select your Echo Show device
5. Scroll down to tap “Home Screen Background”
6. Tap “Photos From This Phone”
7. Select a photo from your phone’s photo library
8. Tap the “Upload” button

Pro Tip #1 

Your photo may take a few minutes to show up on your Echo Show’s display.

Pro Tip #2

In case you were wondering, yes, that’s me in the image! It’s one of my favorite travel photos 🙂

Want to get fancy? Display a photo slideshow on your Amazon Echo!

If you can’t decide on your favorite vacation shot, why stop with one? You can have your Echo Show display slideshows of your favorite trips from your Facebook album or Amazon Photos account.

6. To display the photo slideshow, swipe down from the top of your Echo Show’s home screen
7. Tap “Settings”
8. Tap “Wallpaper & Clock” (For Echo Show 5, tap “Home & Clock” and then “Clock” > tap “Personal Photos” > tap “Background”)
9. Select “Facebook” and tap “Change” to pick your album(s)!

Display a slideshow of your favorite Amazon Photos album:
