Title: New update makes Amazon Echo more family-friendly Post by: HCK on August 31, 2015, 09:00:13 pm New update makes Amazon Echo more family-friendly
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Amazon is continuing to beef up the capabilities of its Echo connected speaker (http://www.techhive.com/article/2954508/home-control/amazon-echo-review-betcha-cant-buy-just-one-of-these-voice-activated-connected-home-controllers.html), this time with an update that adds support for multiple accounts.</p><p> As ZDNet notes (http://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-echo-now-plays-music-books-from-multiple-accounts-gains-bart-schedules/), families can now say “Alexa, switch accounts” to cycle between the two adult account holders. This allows mom and dad to access their individual collections of Amazon music and audiobooks. Saying “Alexa, which account is this” will tell you which account is currently active. Shopping and to-do lists remain communal, so it doesn’t matter which account is active for those functions.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2977784/connected-home/new-update-makes-amazon-echo-more-family-friendly.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: New update makes Amazon Echo more family-friendly (http://www.macworld.com/article/2977784/connected-home/new-update-makes-amazon-echo-more-family-friendly.html#tk.rss_all) |
