Before You Start
Before diving into the unlinking process, it’s important to note that once you disconnect Spotify from Alexa, you will no longer be able to use voice commands to control your Spotify playback on your Alexa device. However, you can still manually control your Spotify playback on your mobile device or computer.
Step 1: Open the Alexa App
The first step is to open the Alexa app on your mobile device. Make sure you are logged in with the same Amazon account as your Alexa device.
Step 2: Access the Devices Menu
Tap on the Devices icon located at the bottom right corner of the app’s home screen. This will open the Devices menu where you can manage your Alexa-enabled devices.
Step 3: Select Your Alexa Device
In the Devices menu, you should see a list of all your Alexa-enabled devices. Choose the device from which you want to disconnect Spotify.
Step 4: Tap on ‘Spotify’
Once you’ve selected your Alexa device, scroll down until you find the Music & Podcasts section. Tap on Spotify to access the Spotify settings for your specific device.
Step 5: Tap on ‘Disconnect’
On the Spotify settings screen, you will see an option labeled Disconnect. Tap on it to initiate the unlinking process.
Step 6: Confirm the Disconnect
A confirmation message will appear, asking you to confirm the disconnection of Spotify from your Alexa device. Read it carefully to ensure you understand the consequences, then tap on Disconnect or similar wording to proceed.
Step 7: Disconnect Successful!
Congratulations! You have successfully disconnected Spotify from your Alexa device. You are now free to use a different music streaming service or explore other options for your Alexa music playback.
If you ever decide to reconnect Spotify to your Alexa device, simply follow the steps outlined above, but instead of tapping on Disconnect, look for an option to Link Account or similar wording to establish the connection again.
Disconnecting Spotify from your Alexa device is a simple and straightforward process that allows you to have full control over your music streaming preferences. Whether you’re exploring new streaming platforms or taking a break from Spotify, following these steps will ensure a seamless transition.
