How To Add Contacts To Alexa (Make Alexa Calls)

Adding contacts to Alexa is essential, especially when you want to receive calls on your Alexa device.

It turns out to be more useful when you multitask and can’t take calls through mobile.

For this purpose, you must know how to add contacts to Alexa and add them all.

You can add contacts to Alexa using the Alexa application.

Open the app, tap on Communicate, and then the person-shaped icon.

Tap on the three-button menu and click on import contacts, and voila!

Now, you can tell Alexa to call or message your favorite person.

So, we’ll discuss three different methods for adding all contacts, individual contacts, and editing your contacts list.

If you have problems with any of these steps, this guide is for you.

Also, if you are doing this process for the first time, you must go through all these steps.

How To Add Contacts To Alexa Using Alexa App

Our first method is to add contacts to Alexa from your phone using its app.

You’ll need to import contacts from your phone to Alexa.

We’ll explain each step in detail to make things clear for you.

Follow these simple steps, and you’ll make this happen even if it’s your first attempt:

Install The Alexa App

To install the Alexa app on your phone, go to the Play Store on Android or App Store on iOS. Search Alexa, and click download and install.

Wait for the app to install. Once installed, launch it and move to the next step.

Tap On Communicate

Once the app is launched, you’ll see Communicate at the bottom of the icons row.

Tap on it, and another window will open up.

You manage all your calls and messages or see announcements in this window.

Tap On the Person-Shaped Icon

Now, you’ll see a person-shaped icon in the top right corner of your screen.

Tap on this icon, and a pop-up will appear.

If you are doing this process for the first time, you must allow Alexa to access your contacts.

Navigate To Menu

Next, you’ll see a three-dotted menu on the top right corner of your screen.

Navigate to it and click on it to see the options list — there will be an option, Import Contacts. (You can manage contacts on your Alexa app here in this menu). 

Click Import Contacts

Once the menu appears, click on the Import Contacts option, and you’ll see a blue toggle button.

To turn on the Import Contacts option, enable this if it’s not.

So, you have your contacts on Alexa, and now you can tell Alexa to call or message any of your contacts.

How To Add Individual Contact To Alexa

Adding individual contact to Alexa is also a simple process to perform.

Both methods involve almost the same steps.

But here, you’ll have to add contact details manually.

If you don’t want to import all contacts and add an individual one, follow these steps:

• Launch the Alexa app and tap on the Communicate icon.
• Click on the three-dotted menu option in the top right corner.
• After that, click on the Add Contact option and enter the details.
• Once done, click on Save to allow Alexa to update the list.

How To Edit Your Contacts List On Alexa

You might need to edit your already added contacts on your Alexa app.

As Alexa syncs with contacts on your phone, any changes you make in the phone’s contacts app will show on Alexa.

However, you can also edit contacts in the Alexa app. Here are the steps to do this:

• Open the Alexa app and tap Communicate.
• Tap the person-shaped icon in the upper right corner.
• Tap the contact you want to edit, and click Edit.
• Make the required changes and click Save.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This is a simple process; you can import all your phone contacts into Alexa with a few clicks.
