The reduced Voiceover volume in the Alexa app started a few upgrades ago. To get Voiceover working correctly after opening the Amazon App do the following. 1. Open the Amazon Alexa App then, to get Voiceover back, press the Home button on your SE 2020 to jump to your home screen and then return to the Alexa app using the App Switcher and you should now have Voiceover back. 2. Now go down to the bottom right corner of the screen, and do a single finger double tap on the More tab. It's tab 5 of 5 on the bottomline tool bar. 3. Go to the top left corner below the status bar and swipe to, Settings, and do a single finger double tap to open. 4.

RE: Amazon Alexa App
You are right, that worked. I launched the app and the volume was extremely low. I opened the app switcher and tapped on the Alexa app and it brought the volume back up to normal. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi. Count me as one of those that the app being discussed is routing Voiceover to the ear speaker on my iPhone X. I really appreciate learning about this bug.

Robert; I don’t believe voiceover disappeared it probably went to your earpiece. I had that happens sometimes with Verizon wireless and I’ve had it happen also with the Alexa app. What I do is back out of the app and then go back into it again and voiceover reappears.I hope this helps Sent from my Verizon iPhone 12 Pro!!! > On Jun 24, 2021, at 12:53 PM, Robert Doc Wright > wrote: > > when I opened the app voiceover disappeared. > > - Original Message - From: "Edward Przybylek" > > To: > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2021 9:25 AM > Subject: RE: Amazon Alexa App Problem > > > Hi all, > > The first things I tried were shutting down and restarting my iPhone and then > I tried resetting the phone.

RE: Amazon Alexa App Problem
All that airplane mode does is turn off all external access like to the cellular data and wi-fi. So, possibly the app got stuck trying to access something and toggling Airplane mode on then off got it unstuck. Kind of like hitting the top of a TV when it wasn't looking right back in the day of the old tube sets, grin.

RE: Amazon Alexa App Problem
Edward, and others You can turn on airplane mode through the device itself. Is that what you did, or did you turn it off on your phone? I'm having allkinds of problems with my Echo 10. It no longer calls my phone when I ask it to call me. It says it will call the Alexa App instead which I don't want because I never have it open unless I want to adjust settings. For days it would not stop what was playing when I asked. I noticed this was the case if an ad was playing, but then it started doing it when I was playing podcasts. It seems to have gotten itself together since that interval of days. There is a place on the phone, and possibly on the device too, to update the App, so that might be in order. Never hesitate to call the number on Amazon's main page that is listed towards the bottom of the page. It provides a link for customers with disabilities. I haven't called it in awhile, but you will be put through to technical support. I can't remember now if this was under a heading for the Alexa App or not, but it is on the opening page when you go to the on-line shopping site. The customer service is excellent and fast. You will not be on hold for long. They willalso send you follow-up information if you ask for it.

Re: Amazon Alexa App Problem
Hi, Hmm that is strange. Try reinstalling the app maybe? Remember that you will have to have your Amazon sign-in info to get back in. You won’t lose any of your data on Alexa or anything if you do this. Also maybe even before that, restart your phone? Is this the only App it is doing thi to?

Amazon Alexa App Problem
Hi all, Tonight I tried to open the Amazon Alexa app to opt out of the Amazon Sidewalk feature.

Double tapping the app, however, simply returned me to the home page with focus still on the app. I then tried the same exercise on my iPod Touch 7 with the exact same results.

How to Cancel a Reminder in the Amazon Alexa App
Greetings, everyone. I can't figure out how to cancel a reminder in the Alexa app. When I go to "Reminders," Voiceover speaks each of the reminders I have set, but when I double-tap on one of them, I can't find a way to edit or cancel it. The rotor doesn't have an "Actions" option. Thanks for all help. Craig -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

hi christine, if you know the name of the skill, you can sometimes, just ask the echo, to open or enable that skill. but you need to get the name of the skill correct.
