1 Control Alexa
If you want to talk to Alexa but you don’t have an Amazon Echo-branded device, you’re not out of luck. Since 2017, the Amazon digital assistant has been available within the company’s flagship mobile shopping app. To talk to her, you just tap the small Alexa icon next to the search bar.
From there, mobile Alexa has a similar suite of features to the digital assistant on the average Echo device. You can ask Alexa to tell you a joke, get the local weather report, check on the status of your packages, or order any number of products. More than that, you can also easily add things to your to-do list or control smart home products from within the shopping app.
