Amazon is rolling out a new Alexa feature called “Answer Update” that will notify you when the voice assistant learns the answer to a question you’ve asked which it was unable to answer at the time. The feature was first spotted by Voicebot and later confirmed by Amazon to TechCrunch. If you ask Alexa a question it can’t answer, there’s a chance it will ask if you’d like to turn on the new Answer Update feature. Alternatively, you can say “Alexa, turn on Answer Update” to turn the feature on immediately, assuming it has already rolled out to your devices. Alexa should respond by saying “Okay, if you ask me a question and I don’t know the answer, but I find out later I’ll notify you.” You can turn off the feature at any point by saying “Alexa, turn off Answer Update.”
I emailed you about this feature on August 2nd when it was enabled on my account. I have been notified with an answer since so it works.
Sorry, I must have missed the email.
No problem I didn’t know about it till Alexa asked if I wanted to enable it and thought perhaps you would know…. Now everyone will know..
uhm, when does she let you know the answer? Time of day?
