Amazon Expands Alexa Plus Access on Fire TV Devices in the US
Starting August 19, 2026, Amazon has expanded access to Alexa Plus on Fire TV devices across the United States. Previously available only with a Prime or Alexa Plus subscription, this enhanced AI assistant is now free for all users of eligible Fire TV hardware and partner TVs from Panasonic and Hisense. Alexa Plus offers features such as movie recommendations based on mood, scene navigation, smart home integration (e.g., lighting control), and real-time information about content being viewed. Amazon states that the upgrade will be automatic for affected devices in the US, with potential future expansion to other regions or device types.
