Note:It isn’t every language that is compatible with Alexa. Things like music streaming and other skills may not be compatible with every choice.
When you’ve chosen your accent or language choice, the app will ask you to confirm your selection. Now, ask Alexa some questions to test your device’s new language preferences.
There is a limitation to this as Amazon allows you to choose only from the following options, “Computer,” “Echo,” “Amazon,” or you can stick with Alexa.Follow the procedure below:
- Open the Alexa app on your Androidor iOS device.
- Tap on the Devices tab.
- Go to Echo & Alexa.
- Choose the device you want to change the name of.
- Tap on the Wake Word button.
- Select your new name from the drop-down menu. Remember, you can only choose Amazon, Echo, or Computer.
