Shop E Store In February, after months of speculation, Amazon finally removed the next -generation Alexa covers.
Nickname Alexa+, the new version of the Amazon digital wizard was revealed during a large launch event in New York City and told us that “it would begin to be implemented in the United States in the coming weeks for an early access period.”

Guide: What is Alexa Plus?
However, although the updated voice assistant officially began to be implemented on Monday (March 31), not all Alexa owners will still have access to him, and some of the most commented characteristics are notable for his absence.
A report in the Washington Post states that it has seen internal documents that reveal that several main features were not ready for the initial launch.
Among the missing capabilities are …
- Picking Grubhub food through a conversation with Alexa+.
- Visual recognition to assign reminders to specific family members.
- Rain of ideas with AI for gift ideas and placement of Amazon orders.
- Generation of stories to entertain children.
- Creation of the purchase and orders list of several stores.
- Chatting with Alexa+ through the new Alexa.com website.
One of Alexa +’s most intriguing features, reading and summary of loaded documents, is available at the launch. However, there is a strange problem: you cannot eliminate any file that loads. If you try, you will receive an error message that indicates that “the elimination of attachments is not yet compatible.”
According to the Washington Post report, Amazon support can manually eliminate the files, but cannot guarantee that all associated data will be deleted. According to reports, a solution is in process and must be implemented “in a matter of weeks.”

It is the greatest change in its voice assistant in the more than 10 years that has been a pillar in our homes and there was no way to risk a dramatic and all inclusive approach.
When you get access, Alexa+ will cost you $ 19.99 per month. However, if you are a main member, you get it for free … for now, at least.
