# About Photos on Your Echo Device

Say things like, "Show my photos," to view your uploaded photos on your device's screen.

You can view a slideshow of your photos on compatible Echo devices. To manage the speed of your photo slideshow:

1. Say, "Go to settings," or swipe down from the top of the screen and select Settings.
2. Select Display, and then Photo Slideshow.
3. Select Slideshow Speed, and then your preferred speed.

You can also use the camera on compatible Echo devices to take different kinds of photos using the photo booth. Photos taken with your device upload automatically to your account.

## Photo Sharing

You can share photos from your account with your Alexa contacts that have compatible Echo devices. While viewing a slideshow, say, "Share this photo," and give the name of the person in your contacts.

A "Shared with You" card appears on the recipient's compatible Echo device and they get an email telling them the number of photos shared and who sent them.

Note: Shared photos also appear and can be managed in the Amazon Photos app. To learn more about the Amazon Photos app, go to: Amazon Photos Features & Apps

When you don't want to share a photo anymore, use the Amazon Photos app to manage the photos shared under the "Groups" section.

Note: Removing photos from the Amazon Photos app will not delete the shared photo entirely if the recipient has downloaded a copy to their device, or shared it with someone else.

To do this... | Say this...
View your photos | "Show my photos." "Show This Day photos." "Show Family Vault photos." "Show my photo albums." "Show my (album title) album."
Control the playback of your slideshows | "(Pause / Resume / Repeat) slideshow." "(Previous / Next) photo." "Turn on shuffle." "Zoom (in / out)."
Search your photos by people, events, locations, or things | "Show my photos of Sarah." "Show me photos of Japan." "Show photos of beaches." "Show photos from last year."
Share a photo | "Share this photo." "Share this photo with Sarah." "Send this photo." "Send this photo to Sarah."
View photos shared with you | "Show my shared photos." "Show photos shared with me." "Show photos shared by John." "Show photos from Sarah."
Take a Single Shot photo | "Take a photo." Note: Swipe on the screen to choose stickers for your photo.
