I downloaded the Amazon Photo app to their iPhone (although I didn’t have to do this at all to connect our Echo Show to their Family Vault) but there is nothing in that app that connects Amazon Photo to their device that I can see.

Again I’ve made certain their Echo Show is fully update to date and even did a factory reset but the problem remains.

The moment I tap Amazon Photos for less than 1/2 of a second I see their Amazon Photo folders, including the Family Vault appear, but before I can select anything the screen disappears and a pop up message on the Echo Show appears saying to the effect “Sign up for Amazon Photos to use Amazon Photos as your background! To get started download the Amazon Photos App on your mobile device to select this device for your Amazon Photos!”

I went to Settings, Home Screen, Background, and then selected Amazon Photos when the problem begins.

I then setup my parent’s new Echo Show for them using their Amazon Prime account.

I went to MY Echo Show, selected Settings, Home Screen, Background, Amazon Photos, and selected “Family Vault.” Immediately my Echo Show started using the 70 photos in the Family Vault as the background my Echo Show’s home screen.

I then used my Amazon Photo account on a desktop browser to upload about 70 photos to the Family Vault account without difficulty.

The Family Vault account shows my parents as the owner and my wife and I as members.

I then activated both my Amazon Prime Photo account and that of my wife, again by desktop browser and accepted the invitation we were sent from my parent’s family vault account.I then used their account to invite the Amazon Prime accounts of myself and my wife. I signed them up for Amazon Photos and activated a “Family Vault” account. I logged into my parent’s Amazon Prime account via a desktop browser.Neither myself nor my parents have ever used Amazon Photos nor the Family Vault feature (we are all Apple iCloud photo users). So far I am having a weird error/issue which I hope someone can shed some light on. Long time Echo user but I just purchased a two pack of Echo Show 2’s, one of which I gifted to my older parents for use with video chat and to provide a modern “digital photo frame” functionality.
