The fact is, that it’s very easy to connect an Echo or Echo Dot to your phone, tablet, or even a laptop. In this post, I am going to show you how it’s done with an iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, let’s look at how you can connect your device to the Echo. As always, if you’re having issues or questions, leave a comment and I’ll help you.<\/p>\n

If you have an iPhone\/iPad<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open the settings app, and navigate to the Bluetooth settings. You can also use Siri and say “Open bluetooth settings”.<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.<\/li>\n
  3. When near your Echo Dot, say “Alexa, pair”. This is going to put the Echo Dot in pairing mode. Alexa is going to say: “Searching”.<\/li>\n
  4. Your Echo Dot is going to show up under “Other devices”, click on it to connect.<\/li>\n
  5. The Echo Dot will make a sound and let you know it has paired to your device.<\/li>\n
  6. You’re now paired and can start playing your music!<\/li>\n
  7. If you open the control center (swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen), you’re going to see that you’re wirelessly connected to a device. Click on the streaming icon in the media control square to quickly switch between the iPhone\/iPad speaker and the Echo Dot.<\/li>\n
  8. If your phone has automatically disconnected from the Echo, you can tell Alexa to “connect to my phone”, to quickly reconnect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To remove the connection between your iPhone\/iPad and the Echo Dot, go back to the Bluetooth settings and click on the i-icon next to the Echo in the list. From there you can either Disconnect or “Forget This Device”.<\/p>\n

    The difference between the two is that you’re going to have to redo the pairing process if you choose to “Forget This Device”.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    By disconnecting, your device is going to remember the speaker and allow you to quickly connect to the speaker again.<\/p>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

    I have a different Echo Dot, does it work the same way?<\/h3>\n

    Most likely yes, just make sure you tell Alexa what you want to do so she knows!<\/p>\n

    Does it work with every music and video app?<\/h3>\n

    Since your device will recognize it as a Bluetooth speaker, it will work and play any sounds your phone makes no matter the app.<\/p>\n

    What is the Bluetooth range?<\/h3>\n

    It depends on a lot of circumstances, but you can expect it to at least work up to 10m (33ft).<\/p>\n

    Can you make the Amazon Echo Dot 4 a portable speaker?<\/h3>\n

    If you buy a portable battery for it, like No products found.<\/span>, you can transform the Echo Dot into a truly wireless speaker and take it outside or to the beach.<\/p>\n
