Step 1: Open the Alexa App
To get started, open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. If you don’t have the app installed, you can download it for free from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Step 2: Tap on the Communicate Icon
Once you have the Alexa app open, look for the Communicate icon at the bottom of the screen (the speech bubble icon). Tap on it to proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Select the Contacts Tab
On the Communicate screen, you’ll see icons for Messages, Contacts, and Calls. Tap on the Contacts icon, which is represented by a person’s silhouette.
Step 4: Tap on the Add icon
To add a contact, tap on the Add icon (+) located at the top right corner of the Contacts screen.
Step 5: Choose an Option to Add a Contact
Now, you’ll be presented with options to add a contact. You can either import contacts from your phone’s address book, add a contact manually, or select a contact from a recent call or message.
Choose the option that suits you best. If you want to import contacts, select “Import Contacts” and follow the prompts to sync your phone’s contacts with Alexa.
If you prefer to add a contact manually, select “Add Contact” and enter the name, phone number, and other details for the contact you wish to add.
For selecting a recent contact, choose “Select from Recents” and pick a contact from the list of recent calls and messages.
Step 6: Verify and Save the Contact
After entering the contact details, review the information to ensure it is correct. Once verified, tap on the Save button, usually represented by a checkmark or the word “Save.”
Congratulations! You have successfully added a contact to your Alexa device.
Step 7: Start Communicating with Your Contacts on Alexa
Now that you have added contacts on Alexa, it’s time to start making calls or sending messages. Just ask Alexa to call or message your contact by saying, for example, “Alexa, call John Doe” or “Alexa, send a message to Jane Smith.”
Remember, both you and your contact need to have an Alexa device or the Alexa app installed on your smartphones or tablets to take advantage of this feature.
