What does green ring on Alexa mean?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

The green ring on an Alexa device indicates that someone is calling you. When the green ring is pulsing, it means that there is an incoming call. This is accompanied by an announcement that informs you of who is calling. For example, Alexa may say, “Incoming call from John Doe.”

To answer the call, simply say, “Alexa, answer.” This will connect you to the call and allow you to start the conversation. Once you are on the call, the green light will start spinning, indicating that you are currently in a call.

During the call, you can communicate with the other person as you normally would. The spinning green light will continue until the call ends. To end the call, you can either say, “Alexa, hang up” or simply hang up the phone if you are using an Echo device with a built-in speaker.

It’s important to note that the green ring on an Echo device can have other meanings as well. For example, it can also indicate an active timer or an ongoing conversation with Alexa. However, when the green ring is pulsing, it specifically means that someone is calling you.

In my personal experience, I have found the green ring on my Alexa device to be quite useful. It allows me to easily identify when someone is calling me without having to check my phone or other devices. The accompanying announcement of the caller’s name is also helpful in determining whether I want to answer the call or not.

The green ring on an Alexa device serves as a visual and audio indicator of an incoming call. It provides a convenient way to answer and manage calls using voice commands.
