HTC is reportedly releasing a new update to the HTC Edge Sense app. The new update for the app is now available for some users globally. A Twitter user claims that the update brings Alexa support to the app. That means you will be able to launch Amazon Alexa digital assistant by squeezing your HTC U11 smartphone.

To recall, 3 days ago, HTC’s official twitter page has teased the Alexa support on HTC U11 devices. Now as expected, the feature is rolling out to the users globally. It is a slow rollout and may take some time to reach your devices. The changelog shared by the user shows Alexa support and new visual tweaks. You can see that here:
