Mute the Microphone on Echo Buds with the Alexa App

Turn on the microphone or mute it with the Alexa app.

The microphone is on by default. It stays on until you mute it or take out both buds.

Tip: When your Echo Buds are connected to your phone, look for the Echo Buds card on the home page of the Alexa app. Select the microphone icon to mute or unmute the microphone on your device.
Note: For Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen), you can customize touch controls on your device to mute the microphone.
