If you want to take advantage of your Echo Show’s display option, why not display your photos. Technology brought us the video picture frame long before we had smart homes or voice assistants; the problem was always that you’d have to plug in a flash drive or connect the frame to your computer to change or update the images the frame was displaying.
These days, we can take it a step further and have a little more influence over what appears on these screens that now act as smart digital assistants and virtual concierges. Let’s dive into setting up your own photos on an Echo Show, like the Echo Show 10 or Echo Show 15.
Your choices may vary depending on which photos you want to show and which country you live in. While you can set your Echo to choose photos based on a specific day, photos it’s used before, or photos you’ve added manually, chances are you’ll need some control over the photos the Echo shows.

Set up and manage your Amazon account
The easiest way to manage photos on Amazon Echo is to create an Amazon Photos account. You can get access by downloading the Amazon Photos app from your phone’s app store or by using the desktop/browser version.
Step 1: Create an Amazon Photos account
Open the app and sign in with your Amazon account. If you’re a prime member, you’ll get unlimited photo storage. If not, you get 5GB of photo space for free, which should be enough for this task. Connect a photo account to your phone and have it upload all or select specific photos from your phone or computer.
Step 2: Create an album
Once you have a few photos in the Amazon Photos app, create an album specifically for the Echo Show (to avoid weird or questionable photos popping up when the grandparents visit). Click Albums and +Create an album. Then select the photos and click Create an album button. In the Amazon Photos app, select Albums and give the new album a name, like “Show Time!” Then select photos and add them to that album.
