My sister who is registered blind, relies on her Amazon echo for many things. Recently she asked for a weather forecast and Alexa asked if she would like a regular weather update. She said yes but was not asked for when. She now receives a notification every morning at 7 am which happens to be the time she was asked but was not the time she wanted.

On trying to cancel this, she is told to use the Alexa App. Because of her lack of sight, she cannot do this. I live far away and cannot help.

Question

Is there some way that I can remotely use the Amazon Alexa app to stop these intrusive notifications or is there a way that she can do so verbally?

Try “Alexa, disable the weather forecast routine.” That might work

She can add you to the "Household Profiles", but it is in the app.

  1. Open the Alexa app on your phone.
  2. Tap the More tab at the bottom.
  3. Select Settings and choose Household Profile. An overview of Amazon Household displays.
  4. Tap Start.
  5. Invite a family member to share your Echo. They must accept the invitation to join your household.
