Amazon Echo Show 8” vs 10” digital pic frame?

[mila]

Trying to decide between the 2... I have an iPhone and DH has an Android mobile device. We both own iPads, and have laptops. The Amazon Echo show has such good reviews and versatility but not sure it offers anything more than what we already own. I want a good digital picture frame... not sure if the Echo provides that?

I have been waiting for the Echo Show 10 to come out and reviews too. So I am following this. I mainly want it for when I am doing recipes and/or watching Netflix while I clean.

I love my Echo Show 8. I got for Christmas and mainly use the streaming features (TV and music) and the Calendar has been a lifesaver when it comes to this mess of working from home and the kids in and out of school. It has truly helped me stay organized. Best gift ever for an ever changing schedule. It has also been great for recipes in the kitchen. It will play pictures. I know I did it for Facebook anyway but I haven't tried setting up an album myself.

We use one of ours as a digital picture frame.

It's not Alexa enabled of course, but I have been really delighted by the Skylight digital photo frame. I can easily send photos to my mom and my dad's devices from the app on my phone, and they send photos to us. My kids love it because they can take pictures and then see them show up on the frame and they get. new video and photo messages from their grandparents all the time. It's helped them stay in touch during the pandemic in a meaningful way--they can see the kids adventures and my kids (who are too young to be on social media) can see what their grandparents are up to.

You can also give the devices' email address to anyone and they can send it photos.

I have Amazon Echos in every room so I didn't need another one - so I've been really happy with just the Skylight frame.
