I have acguired another Fire tablet from my wife . This is often left with the Alexa app open. Sometimes, when my Echo Dot is giving me a reminder, our friend's voice comes simultaneously out of this tablet..
This is strange and disconcerting. .... Any ideas why , or how to stop it? .........Thanks.
The Fire tablets have various builds of the Alexa app/service - depending upon their "generation" - my old Gen4 devices can see Alexa but do nothing with it. Later fires have varying degrees of comparability.
You are in control of your Amazon Alexa set-up - I suggest looking at your Amazon account and checking the various settings applied to your + your joint account to see what you have set up and what you want.
Contacting Amazon Help Services via the free HELP link on most Amazon pages may (or may not) speed your resolution :) Regards, CW.

I wonder why someone would follow their own alternative forum profile.
Further to the excellent advice of Combatwombat, you may have the "Alexa Hands Free" option enabled. This option makes the tablet another Alexa enabled device.
From the main pulldown menu of the tablet -> press on the "Alexa Hands-Free" icon.
