Amazon Updates Alexa App for iOS With Support for Calling and Messaging

Alongside the unveiling of its new Echo Show, Amazon updated its Alex app for iOS today bringing support for calling and messaging Echo devices and Alexa app users.

In addition to managing your devices with Alexa, the updated Alexa App lets you call and message Amazon Echo and Echo Dot owners, and anyone else with the Alexa App on their phones. Stay in touch with your family while you’re out by calling them on their Echo, or send a reminder to them on their iPhone app via a voice message.

Features:
For Alexa device owners, the free Amazon Alexa App is a companion to your Alexa device for setup, remote control, and enhanced features. Alexa is always ready to play your favorite music, provide weather and news updates, answer questions, create lists, and much more. Alexa's brain is in the cloud, so she continually learns and adds more functionality over time. The more you use Alexa, the more she adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences.


How It Works:
Interactions with devices with Alexa are automatically mirrored visually on your Amazon Alexa App, providing more information as you want it. The Amazon Alexa App lets you easily manage your alarms, music, shopping lists, and more -- wherever you are.

You can download Amazon Alexa from the App Store for free.
