HANDS FREE ALEXA on iPhone and Android Alexa App
You can now use Alexa hands free within the Alexa App. It is a nice addition but requires you to have your phone unlocked and the Alexa App open. But you can do much of the same functionality you have come to expect from Echo devices and Alexa. Check it out.

@alvarofelix7133 4 года назад

Craig, I have a Xiaomi Mi9 and it comes with a extra button and you can have it so instead of running google assistant, You can choose Alexa as your assistant. That way you can just press the button at anytime in any app and it will automatically start listening for a command, Not to be confused with opening the Alexa app which would still lose the point, But again, Pressing the phones integrated extra button lets Alexa right away start listening to you and its really effective!

@josephbennett3482 4 года назад

Loving all your videos Craig thanks so much 👍🏻

@RyanSmith-hi2nv 4 года назад

Thanks for these tips. I use Echo buds, and occasionally when I say the wake word, it says to unlock my phone first, and when I'm riding a bike or something, that's not always easy, but I'll try using the Google assistant to unlock the phone and open the app.

Now, on my Moto G6, I can just ask Google to open the Alexa app and ask Alexa without having to click buttons. I wonder if she'll come through the car speakers like the phone calls do...

I have echo frames and they were great to get Alexa hands free, but still have Siri. I also found out by accident that if wanted noise cancellation listening and not open ear hearing I can put in my air pod pros and hear from them. Some advice connected the frames first so that the volume goes through the pods and not the frames and second don’t use the touch pad on the frames or the sound will switch over

Thank you for another honest video with good information about Alexa. As you stated, I can't see using this "hands-free" option when "Hey Google" will accomplish everything that you demonstrated herein. The ONLY thing that is appealing is to say the one word wake up, "Alexa" rather than the the 2 word "Hey Google."

I can see a use for it in your car or outside home instead getting getting an echo auto (for the car)... connect to your car or Bluetooth speaker and now you have an easy mobile Alexa... I can also kinda of get the reason for it Not being able to be used without the phone unlocked as maybe the lack of ESP on the phone app could make it frustrating to use at home with your home Alexa devices.... Just my thoughts...

@tommercer1406 4 года назад

I feel like at that point you might as well just use your phone's built-in assistant, given its properly hands free and does the same tasks in most cases. Especially if you use your phone's assistant to launch the Alexa app

@CraigsTechTalk 4 года назад

I agree with you about that. I think it is good to use either Siri or Google Assistant on top Alexa. Like you said it does the same task and more. Why take the extra steps to have to stay with Alexa. Thanks for checking out the video. Have a good day Tom.

Hi Craig. Sometimes when I open Alexa on my Samsung A50 phone, I get a card that says "Access Alexa from Any Screen. Make Alexa the default, then long press your phone's Home button and just ask." While its not the same, it does allow quick access to Alexa. Settings- Device Assistant app- Device Assistant app (again) and pick Alexa

@CraigsTechTalk 4 года назад

Hello Frank, that option is not available on iOS. I can see how that would be even more useful then this feature. At least you can access Alexa from any screen. Thanks for sharing and watching.

What alexa app do I use with alexa dot?

@emersoncastro593 3 года назад

Step #1: On an iPhone a faster way would be to just create a shortcut in the “Shortcuts” App to Open Alexa App. Step #2: Then go to Settings> Accessibility> Touch> Back Tap> then either choose double tap or triple tap and choose the shortcut that you just created in step #1. Once everything is setup you juts have to double tap or triple tap the back of your iPhone to launch 🚀 the Alexa App. I chose triple taps to prevent accidental openings of the Alexa App. Your phone still needs to be unlocked but this method is much quicker to activate Alexa on an iPhone. No need to even talk to Siri.

@HughD 4 года назад

Thanks, Craig. I've really been wanting this, but probably not so much in its present form. Even if the phone is unlocked, I don't necessarily want Alexa to respond to my phone in the house when I'm trying to show something on an Alexa Show. I don't see a way to make it respond to any other wake word besides "Alexa." Using Simple Commands I can ask Alexa now to open my garage door (yep, I know the security concerns) so it could be handy when I'm out for a walk or coming home in the car. I can unlock my Pixel 3 in my pocket so could use it then maybe. It would also be handy for running any of my numerous Alexa routines. It will be useful in the car..maybe. This feature pretty much kills the "Echo Auto" it seems although I gave mine away already because of the cords/mounting/etc. I was hoping that using my PixelBuds would get around the lock requirement, but it didn't. Oh well...so close, but still so far. Thanks, Craig!!!

@josephbennett3482 4 года назад

You could simply change the wake word for your other devices to either Echo , Computer , or another wake word which i forgot. It would prevent you from activating you devices in your home.

@HughD 4 года назад

@@josephbennett3482 Thanks, but changing the wake word for devices I use many times a day by my wife and me for the sake of using my phone occasionally wouldn't be a practical solution here, but I appreciate the thought.

@josephbennett3482 4 года назад

@@HughD I'm pretty since the app controls all Echo devices all of the devices would ignore the wake word if you're not directly speaking to one of them because mine do that , if they activate after noticing the wake word then they turn back off like 2 seconds later when they don't hear any commands for them so i am very sure you still can use the app's feature at home.

@Boy-ok1cr Месяц назад

I love 'hey siri', iii am forever saying "hey Siri', where's my phone"?

@vinniepro1296 2 года назад

Craig, I'm willing to accept the shortcomings that make the Hands Free Alexa feature less than optimal. I have an iPhone 12 and I do use Face ID to unlock my phone and your suggestion to have another app running so the phone remains unlocked is an acceptable work-around for me. So, what I'm wondering is how can I stop Echo Auto Mode (which I don't think even existed when you made this video) from launching every time I get in my car with the Alexa app open? I haven't gone through the Auto Mode setup process because I'm trying to avoid pairing the Alexa app with my car's bluetooth since all I want to do is have access to Alexa if I want to ask a question on my commute to and from work, so just getting audio responses through my phone's speaker is good enough. I actually own the Amazon Echo Auto device but found it to be quite buggy when I first set it up when it was initially released (I got the 50% off deal they were offering at the time). I initially thought my car's bluetooth (2015 Mazda CX-5) was the problem but based on the many negative reviews of the Echo Auto device it seems it had more to do with the device itself. Anyway, even though I've been able to bypass the Auto Mode pop-up, I can't get Alexa's responses to play audio through my phone, I'm just getting a typed message to my queries which of course is not acceptable at all due to safety concerns. In summary, I'd like it if the Echo Auto Mode didn't launch every time I get in my car and I'd like for Alexa's responses to play through my iPhone 12 and not through my car's speakers. Any suggestions on how I might be able to accomplish these things would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@vinniepro1296 2 года назад

Update: I couldn't get Alexa's responses to play through my phone's speaker, I'm assuming because my phone is paired with the bluetooth in my car, so I decided to give the Alexa app's Echo Auto Mode a try and it seems to be working fine. So, what I do is open the Alexa app before I get in my car, launch Auto Mode if the setting to do it automatically isn't turned on (I found out where that setting is 😊) and I'm all set, no other app needs to be open in order to keep the Alexa app open when Auto Mode is running so Alexa is all ready to respond. There is one caveat here though which is, I need to first push the Bluetooth button on my car's Infotainment Touch screen before I can interact with the Alexa app (to play Amazon Music or for any other interaction). When I'm done I just press the FM button to get back to listening to the radio.

Are you saying that you don't need an echo because I was going to buy an echo with an extra fire stick TV for my aunt who likes more hands-free stuff! Like does this mean all I would have to do is just buy like say for example a security camera system or light bulb for Alexa and just use the Alexa app instead of having to buy it an Amazon Echo???
