If you have more than one Alexa-enabled device, music will play on the gadget closest to where you initiated the request. But there is one thing that Alexa couldn’t do — follow you around.

Here’s the backstory

Ask Alexa to move music, podcasts, or radio stations to a different room. It also works with Echo Buds or Echo Auto. So when you leave your house, you can pick up exactly where you left off. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, move my music here.” To move audio between groups, say, “Alexa, move my music to the kitchen.” “Move your audio from one Echo device to another in your home. Just say, ‘Alexa, pause’ to the Echo device playing music, and say, ‘Alexa, resume music here’ or ‘Alexa, resume radio here’ to the device you’d like to resume listening on.”

Alexa feature removed

Alexa can read out loud any emails that you receive. For this, you have to link your email account to Alexa and she’ll update you on any correspondence.  “We regularly evaluate the features and experiences available to customers and prioritize those that make customers’ lives easier and allow them to get the most out of their Alexa experience. As with everything we do, we will continue to evolve the experience based on customer feedback,” it said in a statement.  The change already happened, and if you have set it up for emails to be read, your email account will automatically be unlinked.
