That's funny, I"'e ben wondering if the Amazon Lady was a whole other device!
I was not using the right language to get Alexa
to "cancel" a reminder. I only had one and she read it to me and first time
around she offerecme no options. Next I asked her to delete it. Second time
around she read it to me then asked if I wanted to cancel all those instances
of the reminder. That worked.
I still am not clear on how much talking to my iPhone Alexa is doing. I gave
Alexa permission to access my reminders, or I thought I did, but maybe that was
never an option. I also thought I allowed Alexa to access the calender and
email, but the only notifications I get are for email.
btw, I set Alexa to use follow-up mode but often she does not do it. I know it
works if I am on a set task like listening to a podcast, and it should work
within a specific amount of time to say something like pause or resume or go to
the beginning. I hate repeating myself to the Echo or anything or anyone else.
Hmmm, do I do too much of that here myself?
I’m clearly still in the dark. Thanks for your patience.

Reminders set on the echo device will not show up on your iPhone reminder app.
You can ask the Amazon lady, (I’m trying to avoid using her name as sometimes
the speech synthesizer reading her name invokes a response if you don’t have
headphones on,) what reminders do I have, etc.

Maybe it's time to get on the Echo list again and ask for sites
that have answers to all these basic questions. There is a spot for help and
feedback on the Alexa App so I thinkI'll review what is in there. When I looked
at the part of the App that reads "Accessibility" I don't remember anything
extensive in the way of settings in there.
If I ask Alexa what skills I have enabled, I am told that there are 5 of them
which are broad catagories such as games, trivia, song quiz, sounds… Yesterday
someone looking in the Alexa App on my phone saw 11 of them. It's confusing.
I'mconfusedtoo why reminders on my phone say one thing and a reminder I created
through Alexa is something different I told her to remind me of. That reminder
was not recorded in my Reminders App and neither does it show anywhere else
where I can delete it. Hmmm.
Back to Skills, I'd like to know, for example,what category of skills, if that
be what they are specific to, the TJ Sermonsstuff, or celebrity stuff, or Bible
stuff is in. It would be nice to see that. My main interests are in music,
science, the arts, and literature. I'd sure like to point to suggestions being
made to include those topics. I currently hear short lists that say do you want
to hear somethinglike TJ Sermons or somethingfrom the Bible, which I take are
part of skills not yet "launched" or"enabled" - I'm not even sure if those
terms are two different things or not. I assume they are things proposed I
might want to try.
Time to take these questions elsewhere.
