# About Alexa Messaging

Messaging with Alexa helps you keep in touch with your friends and family who use this feature.

#### Video: Messaging with Alexa

You can send Alexa-to-Alexa messages from the Alexa app on a compatible Android or iOS device. Alexa delivers messages to the recipient's Alexa app as well as to all of their supported Echo devices associated with their Amazon account. When there is an incoming message, lights on supported Echo devices pulse yellow, and the devices chime. On a Fire tablet, iOS, or Android device, you receive a device notification for incoming messages.

To learn more about viewing messaging transcripts on your Echo device home screen, go to Calling and Messaging Without Speech on Echo Devices with a Screen.

Note: Alexa can't send attachments like photos.
