Maybe you’re new to Alexa and all she can do, or you need some new ideas to bring new life to your smart speaker.

With a few taps, you can instruct Alexa to delete your records and disable voice purchases automatically.

“Alexa, drop in on all devices.”.

To use it, just say “Alexa, drop in on all devices” to reach every Alexa-enabled speaker or “Alexa, drop in on (device name)” to target just one.

Then just wait for the confirmation tone before speaking.

“Alexa, remember …”.

Alexa can remember specific dates and events for you.

Say "Alexa, remember …" followed by whatever you'd like her to track.

For example, “Alexa, remember I have a dentist appointment at 1 p.m.

on Tuesday” or “Alexa, remember I hid the key in the kitchen cupboard.”.

“Alexa, set volume to (number between 1 and 10)”.

Echo speakers have volume buttons on the top to adjust audio levels, but you don't have to get up and walk over to your speaker to change it.

Just tell Alexa what volume level you want.

You can also ask Alexa to “set volume to 11,” which maxes the volume.

“Alexa, tell me about the movie (title).”.

You can also ask Alexa to identify an actor in a movie you're watching.
