You can disable voice commands on your Alexa devices by turning off the "Wake Word" feature. This prevents Alexa from listening for its wake word, such as "Alexa" or "Amazon," and responding to your voice commands.
Here's how to disable voice commands on your Alexa device:
Disabling Voice Commands on the Alexa App:
- Open the Alexa app: Launch the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Select "Devices": Tap on the "Devices" icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose your device: Select the specific Alexa device you want to disable voice commands on.
- Access device settings: Tap on the "Settings" icon (gear-shaped) next to your device name.
- Disable "Wake Word": Scroll down to the "Wake Word" section and toggle the switch to "Off."
Disabling Voice Commands on the Alexa Device:
- Press the Action Button: Locate the "Action Button" on your Alexa device (usually a button with a circle or a dot).
- Select "Settings": Use the navigation buttons or voice commands to navigate to the "Settings" menu.
- Disable "Wake Word": Find the "Wake Word" option and turn it off.
Note: Disabling voice commands will prevent your Alexa device from responding to any voice commands, including those for playing music, setting alarms, or controlling smart home devices.
