Is Amazon Alexa down?

Alexa is down, probably related to Cloudflare being down. Which is why I'm going to start ripping out as much "smart home" stuff as possible this winter. Making houses dependent on the Internet was a dumb idea.

Is AWS still having problems? The Alexa commands are not working now, and last time I tried (I said please), and it worked. This time I changed my tone 😆. The TV only works with voice commands for the on and off button only, for some reason lol.

I’m so down for Alexa and Nia next week. #SmackDown

Anyone I talk to IRL doesn't even know there was a major internet outage this week. I definitely felt it with the Alexa outage that killed routines and Everywhere music for two days. Seems to all be ok again today.

My ceiling fan light is still not connected to my Alexa’s after the Amazon web service outage yesterday

Hey @AmazonHelp, it seems that @AmazonAlexa hasn’t recovered from the great @awscloud autumn outage of 2025

🚨 AWS just took a third of the internet offline 🚨 Coinbase? Down. Fortnite? Frozen. Netflix, Ring, Reddit? All glitched. Even Alexa stopped talking. What happened? One AWS data region failed — and it rippled through the digital economy. But this wasn’t just a cloud outage.

Major AWS outage on Oct 20 knocked Venmo, Snapchat, Lyft, Fortnite, Alexa and more offline. Root cause: DNS issues for DynamoDB in us‑east‑1. Services are back, but it’s a wake‑up call on single‑region risk. How resilient is your stack? #Cloud #AWS

🚨 On Oct 20, 2025, a major AWS outage disrupted global platforms like Snapchat, Reddit, Zoom & Alexa. Users worldwide faced hours of downtime. #AWSOutage #CloudComputing #TechNews

******* amazon outage, really had me crawling out of my bed at 5am bcs alexa wont snooze my alarm ‼️

AWS outage hit global sites from Starbucks to Alexa, disrupting millions for nearly a day Rooted in $AMZN US-EAST-1 failures, recovery took hours. Experts warn overreliance on one region risks $100B+ in global productivity losses when the cloud sneezes.

Marked safe from the AWS outage 🚩 Thankfully, my smart home system runs on a Raspberry Pi with local software, instead of Alexa, so if an online service goes down, I still have full control over everything. Have you been affected by the outage today?

Here is a list of everything that was affected by the #aws outage today. Bitcoin was just fine. Trust in Bitcoin, not crypto. Here's a full list, per @downdetector . Adobe Creative Cloud Amazon (including Alexa and Prime Video) Apple Music Blink Boost Movile Chime Coinbase

New form of tech redundancy One of our Sonos speakers runs Alexa One runs Google Assistant So with AWS down, we just need to speak louder and use the Hey Google activation phrase...

AWS outage knocked Snapchat, Venmo, Alexa, Fortnite & more offline — one cloud, one point of failure. Time for real redundancy? #AWS

My Alexa not working today made me so annoyed I just got up lol

The weirdest side effect of the AWS outage is that my @amazonmusic stream has been 🔥. Normally, I ask Alexa to shuffle some music, it plays the same 30 or so songs every time (which is annoying AF), today it's been busting out music I haven't heard in YEARS

My Alexa is not working 🥲

why alexa not working 🙄

Amazon’s cloud, the backbone of the internet went down earlier today Apps like Snapchat, Fortnite, Roblox, Alexa, Ring, Coinbase and Venmo all went offline The issue came from one of Amazon’s main database systems in the US region Most services are back now but some are still

My Alexa not working but I’m seeing that Amazon is down

Since AWS is down with Snapchat and Alexa, I hope Alexa responds "I'm down please check Twitter" when I ask about news briefing.

A worldwide AWS outage? Anybody else alarm was tweaking this morning on Alexa?

AWS being down and taking 50+ services out with it, is insane….alexa play ‘power’ by Kanye west… if you can 🤭

Did your #Alexa stop working overnight? Mine did! @amazon says a worldwide web services outage is being resolved. We’ll have the latest this morning on @KCBSRadio.
