Alexa on Fire tablets
Alexa provides quick access to the entertainment you want, including music, games, audiobooks and more.
You can also ask Alexa questions, check your calendar, get news, find sports scores and even control your smart home. Alexa hands-free is available when your tablet’s screen is on or the device is connected to a power source. Enabling Alexa hands-free may reduce battery life.
When connected to Wi-Fi, just ask Alexa. Alexa will respond to you and will even show visual responses to certain questions.
Calling and Messaging
Ask Alexa to call, send messages or make video calls to friends and family who have a compatible Fire Tablet, supported Echo device, or the Alexa App.
You can also quickly connect to family and friends by asking Alexa to drop in on Echo devices. For example, you can drop in to ask what time dinner will be ready, see the baby's nursery, or check in with a close relative.
Be entertained
Whether you’re looking for your favourite playlist or need a quick joke, you can ask Alexa. Just ask for a song, artist or genre and stream directly over Wi-Fi. Alexa also provides voice control for Amazon Music, TuneIn and more.
Stay informed
Now you can ask Alexa a question and get an immediate voice response. Alexa can pull up your Flash Briefing, Wikipedia articles, news, sports scores and more.
Voice-control your smart home
Alexa works with devices such as lights, switches, thermostats, security cameras and more from Philips Hue, SmartThings, Nest, Hive, TP-Link, Arlo and Ring. Dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie, change the temperature on your thermostat while reading in your favourite chair or check who's arriving at the front door with a security camera, all without lifting a finger.
Enhance your viewing experience
With ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction), Amazon movies and TV episodes are ready for you to watch instantly. ASAP dynamically adapts to your viewing habits.
On Deck automatically downloads Prime Video (for Prime members) and the first episodes of Amazon Original Series while your device isn’t in use, ensuring that there is always something new to enjoy instantly, even when offline.
Access your entertainment across all devices
Whispersync remembers how much you've watched, read or listened to so you can pick up right where you left off, no matter which device you are using. Plus, with every Fire tablet, you get free, unlimited cloud storage for all your Amazon content including unlimited storage on photos you've taken with your Fire tablet.
Share content with Family Library
Family Library links your Amazon account to that of your spouse or partner so you can easily share apps, games and books, and now also allows Prime members to share their Prime Video content. Access your family's content across devices — both Amazon devices and free Amazon apps for other platforms, including iOS and Android.

When children use Fire for Kids, it's like they have their very own personalised tablet. The background colour and fonts change to a kid-friendly design and they only see the titles that you give them access to.
