Alexa is gaining a Multilingual Mode with simultaneous support for multiple languages. With the latest update, the software can now understand customers in India speaking in Hindi or Hinglish, in multiple contexts and in different regional accents and dialects. In the US, the feature will support English and Spanish from next month, while in Canada, it will support Canadian English and French.

Last, but not the least, Alexa will soon offer two new voice-based features to provide customers with more transparency over the responses they get. The first one, called ‘Auto-delete Voice Recording’, is said to work exactly as advertised. While users can already delete their Alexa recordings via simple voice commands, users will soon be able to choose to have their voice recordings automatically deleted after a pre-designated period, ranging from 3 months to 18 months. The feature will be rolled out later this year.
