Amazon Alexa is a necessary app if you are an Alexa-enabled device owner. The application was developed by Amazon Mobile LLC and released on Google Play Market in the autumn of 2014. Since then, millions of people across the globe have been using the Amazon Alexa app to interact with other products of the American company.

Among them: Echo Buds, Echo Studio, Echo Auto, Ring video doorbell, and so on.
