Did you know that Alexa offers contact management as well? If you add contacts to Alexa, you can enjoy all of its communication services and features, such as the ability to call a contact with a voice command.

Earlier, we explained how to add a contact to Alexa. You can also delete contacts from Alexa in the same place. Note that adding a contact to Alexa doesn’t add it to your main contact app.

Once a contact is added, you can make a call to that contact on your Fire Tablet. Open the Alexa app, click on the More tab at the bottom, click on Communicate, and click on the call button. You can then call any contact via an Alexa to Alexa video call, without any other communication apps installed.

Open the Alexa app.
Click on More at the bottom.

Click on Contacts.
Click on Add New.
Click on Add Group.
Add people to the group and then click on Continue.
Give a name to your group.
Click on Create Group.

Troubleshooting Common Contact Issues

Here are some tips to troubleshoot contact issues on a Fire Tablet:

If you can’t place a call, make sure to resolve connectivity issues. Connect to a strong Wi-Fi network.
If you are having contact syncing issues, log out of your Gmail account and log in again. Sometimes, a Fire Tablet won’t be able to sync contacts from certain services, so you’ll need to enter them manually.
If you don’t see a contact, make sure you’ve entered it into your contact app. Entering it into Alexa’s contact book won’t add it to your main contact app.
