Amazon Echo gains iCloud calendar support


A new Amazon support document has appeared detailing how to use its Echo device with Apple's iCloud calendar. The added support allows users to schedule and look up events stored on iCloud using the Amazon Alexa device.

You can link supported calendar accounts to Alexa from the Alexa app. Once you link your calendar(s), you can ask Alexa about your scheduled events, or add new events.

You have the option to link one calendar from each of the currently supported calendar providers (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Apple). If another adult is in your Amazon Household, he/she can also link calendar accounts to Alexa.
