Why Does Alexa Announce My Calendar Notifications Twice?

Updated by Tim Rabbetts on
Alexa Double Notifications

Many users have experienced an issue where Amazon's Alexa repeats calendar notifications twice. This can be both confusing and annoying, but there are several potential reasons why this might be happening.

Potential Causes

  1. Multiple Accounts Linked: If you have more than one account linked to your Alexa device, each account's calendar events will be notified separately. Ensure only one account has permission to send notifications.
  2. Notification Settings: Sometimes, the settings within your Alexa app may have been configured to notify you more than once. Check the notification settings in the app to confirm they’re set correctly.
  3. Software Glitches:
Occasional software glitches can cause devices to behave unexpectedly. Restarting your Alexa device might resolve double notifications.
  • Third-Party Apps: Third-party calendar apps linked to Alexa could also lead to duplicate notifications. Verify the integrations and permissions for any third-party apps.

    • Troubleshooting Tips

    To troubleshoot, first ensure that you do not have duplicate calendar entries in the app. Next, check the linked accounts and remove duplicates. Adjust notification settings for your preferences, or try disconnecting and reconnecting your calendar to Alexa. If the issue persists, consider resetting your device or contacting Amazon support for further assistance.
