Alexa glows green - what does it mean for you?

The Amazon Echo speaker is a useful voice controller that can make your everyday life much more comfortable. However, in order for you to take full advantage of Alexa, it is necessary to know what a green glow means. This is because the device communicates with you via the glowing rings.

What do you need to do when you see a green light ring?

If Alexa shows you a green light ring, it means there is a message for you.

1. Alexa is set to not read out your messages on its own. This is to keep your privacy protected and make sure you actually get the message.
2. To make Alexa read your message to you, you can use multiple voice commands. For example, say "Alex, read my messages to me."
3. But retrieval also works if you ask "Alexa, what did I miss?" or "Alexa, what are my notifications?"
4. After that, Alex responds to you by reading the message aloud.
5. Once the message has been retrieved from Alexa, the green light ring goes out.

These are the other options

But the green ring does not only light up for new notifications. Even if a call has been received without leaving a message, the green ring appears. Furthermore, the green light ring also indicates when a new skill has been installed or when another smartphone has been linked to Alexa. The light rings give you the opportunity to see what is interesting for you by eye contact and react accordingly.
