When it comes to connecting your Alexa device to your phone via Bluetooth, the process is quite straightforward. Follow the steps below to seamlessly pair the two devices and enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, or calls through your Alexa speaker.
The first step is to initiate the Bluetooth pairing process by giving a voice command to Alexa. Simply say, “Alexa, pair Bluetooth” to put your Alexa device in Bluetooth discovery mode.
Next, you’ll need to ensure that your phone’s Bluetooth is turned on and in pairing mode. Refer to your phone’s user manual for specific instructions on how to enable pairing mode.
Now, open the Alexa app on your phone. This is where you’ll manage your Alexa devices and Bluetooth connections. Navigate to the Devices section within the app.
Within the Devices section, locate and select your specific Alexa device that you want to pair with your phone. This could be an Echo Dot, Echo Show, or any other Alexa-enabled device.
Once you’ve selected your Alexa device, look for the Bluetooth Devices option within the settings. Click on this option, and then select “Pair a New Device” to initiate the Bluetooth pairing process.
At this stage, your Alexa device should be discoverable by your phone. Look for your Alexa device in the list of available Bluetooth devices on your phone and select it to establish the Bluetooth connection.
After selecting your Alexa device on your phone, the two devices will attempt to pair. You may need to confirm the pairing request on both your Alexa device and phone to complete the connection.
Once the pairing is successful, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that your phone is now connected to your Alexa device via Bluetooth. You can now stream audio from your phone to your Alexa speaker.
To test the connection, play a song or make a call on your phone. You should hear the audio output through your Alexa speaker, confirming that the Bluetooth connection is successfully established.
Keep in mind that the Bluetooth connection between your phone and Alexa device will remain active until you manually disconnect the devices or turn off Bluetooth on either device.
That’s all there is to it! By following these simple steps, you can easily connect your Alexa device to your phone via Bluetooth and enjoy a seamless audio experience across both devices.
