Amazon finally added a good slideshow feature to the Echo Show

Amazon Echo Show smart displays have never been as good as Google's Nest Hub or a dedicated digital photo frame for doing one thing well: showing your pictures. This is because Amazon clutters up the screen with questionably useful info and alternates your pretty pictures with suggestions for the latest Alexa skill you might like to try, a recipe for egg salad, or a news tidbit about a tomato shaped like a duck.
But as of August 5th, you can now command your Echo Show or Fire TV to show you just your pictures and nothing else for a whole three hours.
