Not a fan of Siri? Use Alexa on your Apple Watch thanks to a third-party app
Not happy with the performance of Siri on your Apple Watch? Thanks to a third party app, you can use Amazon's virtual personal assistant Alexa on the timepiece, but she does have limited functionality on the device. Alexa will be able to turn on/off smart appliances and answer some requests for information. Because of the closed nature of the Apple Watch, you won't be able to make a phone call, stream music, hear flash briefings or listen to a podcast.
Voice in a Can will cost you $1.99 and there is something you need to adjust first before you use it. When the Apple Watch screen goes blank, you lose your connection to Alexa. As a result, you need to set the screen timeout setting to the longest option available on the Apple Watch.
Click on the video at the top of the screen to see Alexa in action on an Apple Watch. To install the app on your timepiece, click on the sourcelink below.
