Amazon Alexa down updates — Users complain voice assistant connectivity and control are not working as outage underway

Problems are fixed

Amazon Alexa seems to be back up and running as less than 100 people are still reporting problems on Downdetector.

The outage lasted for about an hour.

Amazon Alexa loses popular feature

Today's Amazon Alexa outage comes as customers lost a popular shopping feature on the device.

Shopping and to-do list apps such as AnyList and Todoist will stop working with Alexa voice commands on July 1, reported The Verge.

Amazon has told the developers that the only way they can continue providing the integrated service is to develop a new custom skill.

"Today, if you enable their Alexa skills, third-party apps can sync with lists in the Alexa app and show that data in their app," said the tech experts.

AMAZ-OFF!
