Amazon has officially expanded its AI assistant, Alexa+, beyond the company’s own hardware. Along with the announcement of its Lifestyle Ultra speakers, Bost has also announced that Alexa+ is coming to its lineup of speakers and soundbars across the United States.

For mixed iPhone and Android conversations, the lock indicator becomes the thing to watch. Without that signal, users shouldn’t assume the privacy upgrade has reached their…
