Why is Alexa always yellow?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

The yellow blinking light on your Alexa device typically indicates that there are unread messages waiting for you in your inbox. This can refer to messages in your Amazon inbox, which could be notifications or updates from sellers regarding your orders, or messages from Amazon itself.

One common reason for the yellow blinking light is that you have received a message from a seller on Amazon. For example, if you have recently made a purchase on the platform, the seller may send you updates on the status of your order. This could include information on when your package will be shipped, any delays in the delivery process, or even notifications about product availability.

Additionally, the yellow blinking light may indicate that you have received a notification from Amazon regarding your order or account. For instance, Amazon may send you a message to inform you that your package has been delivered. This can be helpful if you are expecting a delivery and want to keep track of its progress. It’s also possible that Amazon may send you other types of notifications, such as promotional offers or important account-related information.

To check your messages, you can simply say, “Alexa, read my messages” or “Alexa, check my notifications.” Alexa will then read out the messages or notifications for you. You can also access your messages through the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet.

In my personal experience, I have found the yellow blinking light to be quite useful. It helps me stay updated on any messages or notifications from Amazon and sellers. For instance, I have received alerts about delays in shipping, which allowed me to adjust my expectations accordingly. I have also received notifications about promotional offers, which have helped me save money on my purchases.

If your Alexa device is blinking yellow, it is an indication that you have unread messages or notifications waiting for you in your inbox. These messages can come from sellers on Amazon or from Amazon itself, and they can provide important updates on your orders or account. To check your messages, you can use voice commands or access them through the Alexa app.
