An unsettling bug has caused some Amazon Echo smart home speakers to repeat "lalala" for minutes at a time. Users report this happens during conversations, and when asked about it, Alexa appears unaware of its own behavior. Multiple users have shared videos documenting the strange activity on platforms like Reddit and YouTube over the last few weeks.
Amazon is aware of the problem and has confirmed via statement that it affects a small number of Alexa Plus users. The company stated that a fix is currently in the works to resolve the issue affecting these specific devices.
