Amazon Fire TV stick may soon get a hands free feature

Amazon Fire TV Stick comes with a remote control to help maneuver through the user interface. The user can also use voice commands to dictate tasks to the Fire TV Stick by pressing and holding down the mic button. Now, Amazon seems to be trying to introduce a new set of features that will enable hands-free operations.

According to a report by The Verge, Amazon is rolling out an update which will be introducing these new hands-free features. These new features will allow users to use voice commands without the need to reach out for the remote.

The user will need to pair an external Amazon Alexa device the Fire TV to enable the feature. Earlier, Amazon allowed the user to input simple commands using an external Alexa device, the new update will allow more smart-display like features.
