Amazon has added a new hands-free option for interacting with its digital assistant, Alexa, on your smartphone. Set to work on either iOS or Android, you can now—with your phone unlocked and the Alexa app enabled—use Alexa without tapping the blue on-screen button.

How this helps: There are plenty of situations where you’re away from your Echo device and want to quickly perform an Alexa query or request. Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, and Samsung’s Bixby enable this type of interaction (across platforms, of course), making them convenient in the car or on the go. Now, Amazon users can get the same neat action.

A few caveats: As TechCrunch notes, the new feature doesn’t stop there. You’ll still need to launch the Alexa app from an unlocked phone. You may be able to do that via the built-in digital assistant (Siri, Bixby, or Google Assistant), but once the app launches, you should be good to go.

Amazon says: “Once the wake word is detected, a moving blue bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, indicating that Alexa is streaming your request to the cloud,” an Amazon representative told us via email.
