Hey Siri
Hey not first
“Hunches” sounds like a great name for a cat.
Why Americans are obssesed with their privacy lol when clearly they are the ones most spied on by government…I mean all nations are similar. I have nothing to hide
Great video 👍.
I guess I’ll have to root this thing to get rid of Bimbo?
Liked for cat
Drop in’s are great for my family.. and what idiot what just leave it open to all users? Don’t turn it off, just change the permissions.
How do we turn off the CIA feature?
I decided this was a trustworthy video because cat.
He loves his job.
Probably won’t kill you
Hahaha
Dave.… Dave… ?
The only thing I use it for is reading my textbook while I follow along and highlight in Notability.
Why are you still using the older version of the Alexa app? The ‘More’ = icon is now located at bottom right. Been in lockdown too long?
Good morning, NSA. How is the weather?
How about the yellow ring that shows up when my package gets delivered at work
Ha ha! I LOVE the drop in feature, and use it all the time to get my kids downstairs or if I’m home and want to say hi to them!
How to use realme xt in lock screen voice command…
Today, “Alexa, turn off the dining room light, Turns off light and says “By the way, your outside light is on, would you like me to turn it off?” “YES! Thank you!” I forgot to turn off the back porch light after sun up. That was handy and surprising.
pointless video, had to stop watching. by default its turned off so why turn it on only to turn it off.
Well when I 1st turned in to amazon I was taken through the.steps to pick the songs I want and to give Alexis camands I had to pause to get my glasses to see the screen lost my place haven’t been able to get back HELP
Does anyone know how to stop Alexa entering game mode? It sound like a quiz game. My son just wants to command Alexa to play certain songs but he keeps accidentally entering game mode with then requires our intervention.
When Alexa or other devices start with TMI, I just say it’s wake work and it stops and waits for my input and then nothing else. It works perfect.
Not really because when I accidentally played music I can’t delete or remove them
Need a solution: example… i’m listening to a podcast and I want to pause it to make some notes. Voice command works fine. But when I say continue, she gives me an introduction to the podcast while the speaker was speaking and I miss what the person is saying for that time.. How can I stop her from giving the introduction to what I was listening to?
Talk too much tf
Like why is it so hard to find a straight forward video on how to problem solve things , videos without unnecessary commentary, sound effects, distraction’s, unfunny comedy routines. Really just a lot of unnecessary context instead of getting right to the point, it should not require listening to 10 minutes for something that could have been said in 3. I’m just gonna go back to searching on Google for answers. Cause a lot of the content on YouTube has gotten annoying and paying 11a month ugh .
Why not just unplug it, then? Don’t turn this stuff off.
alexa keeps explaining how to use skills and features ad nauseum. For example, everytime i get a wyze device notification, Alexa expalins in detail how to use it. How to stop this?
I want to turn off all Alexa functions voice related. Then again I probably should’nt get an Alexa.
How do we disable CIA recordings?
