Eco Dot/ Alexa updates. What’s New
« on: February 19, 2018, 05:12:27 pm »
There are regular updates/What’s New for Alexa/EchoDot. Are these installed automatically or do they need to be installed manually?  If manually, where do I find the updates?

If you have set your app to update automatically, it will. Otherwise do that manually.
The echos themselves will update automatically. The website of course always is the latest version.

Dragon,

How do we know when our Echo has been updated and where do we find out what features have been added?  It would be interesting to know when Amazon fixes a bug or adds a feature.
