Amazon Echo Show 15 offers a range of features to help parents manage content and control user access. Setting up parental controls ensures a safe and appropriate experience for children and other users in your household.

Getting Started with Parental Controls

Before you begin, ensure your Echo Show 15 is connected to Wi-Fi and your Amazon account is linked. You will need the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet to configure settings.

  • Follow the prompts to set up a Kids Profile.

Once enabled, you can customize content restrictions, screen time limits, and access to skills and services for each profile.

Managing User Access and Profiles
