Amazon adds text-to-order shopping to Alexa

On 6 November 2026, The Verge reported that Amazon has added a text-message shopping feature to Alexa for Shopping: users can describe a product or send a photo by text, and Alexa searches for matching items, replies with recommendations and places the order on their behalf. The feature opened to a small group of US users that day and will roll out to millions of users over the coming weeks. It can handle weekly grocery runs, gift suggestions and finding the same item, and records preferences and tracks price drops. Earlier reports did not cover when the feature would launch or how widely it would be available.
