Amazon has finally given you a way to get hands-free access to Alexa via the Alexa App on your smartphone. With the new update you can just ask Alexa to control your smart home devices, make shopping lists, change the song etc when the Alexa App is open on the screen.

Once the ‘Hey Alexa' wake word is detected, an animated blur bar will appear at the bottom of your screen indicating that Alexa is streaming your request to the cloud. 

And you can ask Alexa to pretty much do anything, like - “Alexa, remind me to call Mom at 12PM tomorrow” or "Alexa, play workout mix” or “Alexa, switch on the living room lights”.

You can ask Alexa to set tasks for you with just voice commands.
