FAQ

What is Alexa's text-based shopping feature?

It's a new Amazon feature that lets users text Alexa to describe a product they want to buy, or send a photo of it. Alexa then searches Amazon listings, sends recommendations, and places the order on their behalf.

Can users in the Middle East use this feature?

The source did not specify geographic availability. Amazon typically launches features in the US first and expands gradually. Users should watch for official Amazon announcements in the region.

How is this different from shopping on the Amazon app?

The new feature allows purchasing via text messages without opening the app or website, which is convenient when texting is faster, such as on the go or when seeing a product in a photo.
