Until now, you had to say the word «wake» first («Alexa» if you didn’t change it) for every command you give. This may seem unnatural if you frequently issue multiple commands in a row. You can set up a routine to do multiple tasks at the same time with a single voice command, but that’s only really good for things you do on a regular basis. Sometimes you want to issue a series of commands on the fly, and you don’t necessarily need a subroutine to run those commands regularly.
That’s where Alexa’s new «tracking mode» comes in handy. This mode allows you to ask Alexei additional questions or shout out another command without saying the wake up word. Here’s how to do it.
Open the Alexa app and tap the menu button in the top left corner of the screen.
Select «Settings» from the list.
Select the Echo device on which you want to enable this new feature. Yes, unfortunately you have to enable it on each device individually as there is no universal setting for it.
