I guess you must be aware about the update process step-by-step so that you don’t need anyone and always update when you want to. You can’t take it lightly to these software devices. So in this blog I have written for you all where I will show you some steps to follow to upgrade your Alexa device software manually.
Steps to follow to update your Alexa devices
- So the first step is just open your Alexa app on your mobile phone. If you have not downloaded the application yet then download it from your respective play stores and log-in then.
- Tap on the icon where three lines are indicating and you will find it at the top-left corner of your screen. You will watch Alexa menu open on your screen.
- Next step is to tap on “Settings” and this option you gonna watch at the last under “Skills”.
- The fourth step is to tap on the Echo device that you want to check. Suppose if you have already written a name according to your choice at set-up time then tap it on to open device setting.
- Now just scroll it to come at the bottom of the page and you will see device software version. It will reveal 9 digit numbers so write it somewhere because you need to remember it.

I will share the second method too which you can say “Forcing a software update”. Have a look-
Another method to update your Alexa.
- First, make sure that your Echo is connected to WI-FI or not. If you want to do this ask Alexa “Alexa, what time is it?” if it replies correctly then it is fine if not then try to troubleshoot by Setting up Alexa again.
- Your next job is to press the mute button on the top of your device. Let me describe the button as it looks like a microphone with a line through it. After that, it will cause a red ring to light up.
- Now just wait for 30 minutes the device will go on update mode and download the latest version. I will suggest you just mute the device and check it out on the morning where it will update your software.
