YOU can add an extra layer of security for your Amazon Alexa with this little-known trick.
The trick can stop nosey people from snooping in on your conversations through your smart devices.
“Turn on the lock screen security setting to block personal response from Alexa while your smartphone is locked,” Amazon explained.
The lock screen security setting can be turned on on your Echo Buds, Frames, and Loops.
To block personal responses, follow these four steps.
Once this is turned on, Alexa will not allow devices to use your personalized information.
The setting works when your phone is locked.
“Alexa blocks responses on personal topics, such as your Amazon account, contacts, shopping, location, and smart home devices,” Amazon said.
First, open the Alexa App.
Second, select devices.
Third, select Echo & Alexa then select your device under accessories.
Fourth, Select Block Personal Responses, and turn the setting on or off.
The setting will allow some access when your phone is not locked.
When your phone is unlocked, the Echo Frama or Echo Loop will allow Alexa responses for a 30-minute period.
The Echo Buds will also no longer blocks responses from Alexa as long as your using at least one Echo Bud and your phone is unlocked.
