Alexa glows blue – that’s what’s behind it

Your Alexa glows blue when it is listening or powering up. The difference is whether it lights up continuously or flashes.

What it means when Alexa glows blue

If you’ve just bought a smart speaker with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, you should know about the different visual signals. These include, for example, when it glows blue.

• If this is the case, there is no need to worry because the blue light occurs very often with Alexa.

• So you will see the blue ring light up when you say “Alexa”, give a voice command and she listens.

• If it’s not lit solid but flashing and Alexa has just been started, it means she’s booting up.

• The light will stop flashing when she has powered up, or when your voice command has been carried out.

• However, sometimes it happens that Alexa does not understand the command and the light turns off again.
