Amazon has pushed a new update to its Alexa-enabled devices that brings many new features to its devices. One of the new features is being able to move music from one Echo device to another. You can say things like "Alexa, move my music to the kitchen," or "Alexa, move my music here" when you put on Echo Buds. Or say, "Alexa, pause" on the device playing in your bedroom, but then say "Alexa, resume music" when you're in your living room.

You can also use Alexa to play a show or film on Netflix through Fire TV devices. Just say, "Alexa, play something on Netflix," and then the streaming service will launch a show or film for you. The TikTok TV app is also available exclusively on all Fire TV devices now. Both these features are currently rolled out to Canadian and US users. You can check out the other new features here.
