How do I install the Amazon Alexa app on an iPhone?
Answer
On iPhone, open the App Store signed into your Apple ID, search for Amazon Alexa, and install it. If the app is unavailable, check Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Country/Region, because the storefront must offer Alexa in that region.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Do not install Alexa APK or IPA files from unofficial websites.

Extra tips
What to look for: Amazon Alexa missing from search results, or an App Store error when tapping Get/Download
Before you change anything: Know which Apple ID country you use before changing Country/Region. Changing country may require spending store credit first. Use the official App Store listing only. Have your Amazon account ready for Alexa setup afterward.
