Amazon Echo: Update for Alexa - Here's how

Update for Amazon Echo - how it works

So that your Amazon Echo is always equipped with the latest software, you only need an existing WiFi connection between the device and your router.
Amazon automatically supplies every Echo device (Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Dot and Echo Show) with the latest device software.
If this is not the case, pull the power plug from the device for a few seconds and then reconnect it to the Amazon Echo. Alexa will then tell you that an update is in progress.
Alternatively, you can check the Alexa app settings to see if your device is up to date.
To do this, open the "Settings". Select your Amazon Echo. Navigate in the menu all the way down to the "Version of the device software".
Here you can find out about the latest software updates for Alexa devices on the manufacturer's homepage.
