Amazon’s Alexa can now be used on any Android phone. Whilst you still need to install the Alexa app to start a command, it is now possible to set Alexa as a default assistant, this has come about since Amazon has launched an update to its Alexa app for Android phones which helps users to access Alexa by long pressing the home button. A user from Reddit has pointed out that previously we could swap Cortana for the default voice assistant in Android.
The setup process of Alexa on Android may vary from different devices, however every user has to first update their Alexa app, then go to phone settings and search for the category called Assist Apps. Although the functionality of Alexa is limited in the Android devices like you can’t make native calls, it can however do a quick Google Search. Alexa can’t however be activated by saying her name. Some of the OEM has provided an update to have multiple voice assistants on devices among them are Google Pixel 2, One Plus 5, One Plus One, Sony Xperia, Moto G series, Essential Phone and Samsung Galaxy Series.
