Ever had your surprise ruined by your friendly voice assistant, Alexa? Fear not! We’ll show you the easy-peasy way to shut down those order notifications faster than you can say “surprise party!”
Quiet Alexa Down in the App
Alexa can be a bit chatty with notifications, but you can tone it down within the Alexa app (works on iOS and Android). Open the app, tap More, then Settings. Next stop: Notifications > Amazon Shopping. Here, you’re the boss of your notifications.
- Hush Up the Details: Want to keep your orders private? Turn off those item titles for deliveries or returns. Keep those gift orders under wraps, especially during holidays!
- Total Silence: To shut down all notifications, turn off Delivery and Return updates. Bye-bye, constant updates!
- Deal Detox: If Alexa’s shopping suggestions annoy you, turn off Deal and Reorder recommendations. Peace at last!
Just tap that back arrow to save your choices and voila! Quiet Alexa, sorted you out.
Silencing Amazon’s Shouts on the Web
No app? No problem! On the Amazon website, log in and hover over Account & Lists > Your Account. Under Email alerts, navigate to Alexa shopping notifications. Same options, different playground.
- Keep It Mum: Toggle off those item titles for deliveries, returns, and gifts.
- Complete Silence: Turn off Delivery and Return notifications. No more pings!
- No Deals Here: Disable Deal and Reorder recommendations if they’re bugging you.
Hit the Your Account or Amazon logo to seal the deal and save your changes.
Take Charge of Your Notifications
Alexa’s amazing, but those notifications can be a buzzkill for surprises. So, next time you’re grabbing a gift from Amazon, make sure to silence those telltale notifications. Peace and surprise, restored!
