The recent updates made on Alexa App are primarily associated with group
related operations and updated stream menu. The update also had another
surprise for the users. It revealed the specification of Amazon Echo Tap and Dot.
Most of the people going through the Amazon Alexa setup update focused
mainly on analyzing the changes made in the functions related to groups and the
streamlining of the main menu. However, people failed to observe some of the
changes made in the help and feedback section. The update also expanded this
section to include information associated with Alexa enabled devices, such as Amazon Echo Tap and Amazon Echo Dot. These are two latest
devices that are launched by Amazon in the recent times.
The new update includes a chart, which made
comparisons of the features that will be a part of both these devices. The
specifications chart also reviewed and compared the features of these devices
with the full-sized Amazon Echo as well. The chart was issued on 23rd
of March 2016, and the company may make changes in the Amazon Echo Setup. It is
important to go through the setup process in order to make sure that the device
has been set up in the right way. If
