The main Amazon app for iOS is getting a big upgrade today (though it is a staged rollout so it will take a week to show up for everyone). Alexa, the companys very own virtual assistant, is now integrated into the app. You can use it by tapping the microphone in the search bar.
You can ask it questions, let it help you shop, and tell it to play some music. The assistant also has access to the books in your Kindle library, in addition to the music from Amazon Music Unlimited, Prime Music, and purchased songs and albums.
Once it starts playing media, playback controls will appear on-screen. Audio will continue to play in the background even when youve dismissed those. You can get updates on news, weather, and traffic too. And depending on which skills you add to it, Alexa is able to control your smart home devices as well. All in all, it looks like this release comes with the full Alexa feat ure set, as previously seen on Amazons smart speaker line. Its unclear if Alexa will ever make it to Amazons shopping app for Android.
