A:Answer Hi Shawn, thank you for your question. Regarding being able to send hands free text messages, you can use Echo buds with voice assistants, like Siri and Google Assistant, and create touch shortcuts to access them.
Note: For Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen) and Echo Buds (2023 release), customize your tap controls in the app to set a gesture for using voice assistants.
Make sure that your phone has Siri (iOS) or Google Assistant (Android) enabled.
Place Echo Buds in your ears.
Use tap controls to access the voice assistant feature.
For Echo Buds (2019 release, 1st gen), press and hold the touch sensor until you hear a chime.
For Echo Buds (2021 release, 2nd gen) and Echo Buds (2023 release), use the custom tap control you have set in the app.
Hopefully this helps. Have a great day!
