- Tap on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the app
- Now tap Settings
- Tap Device Settings
- Now choose the device for which you want to change the wake word
- Scroll down and tap Wake Word

How to change Alexa’s wake word: Using the speaker
The second method to change Alexa’s wake word is using the speaker. This means that you have to speak to Alexa and say something like “Alexa, can you change the wake word?”. Once you say this, just follow the Alexa prompts and you will change the wake word. The choice is the same – Alexa, Amazon, Echo, and Computer.
If you ever wish the wake word to be Alexa again, just follow the same guide and change the wake word again.
