Share lets you send photos and videos to someone’s Alexa app and Echo Show devices.

Call lets you start audio or video calls.

You can also create groups if you want to quickly connect with several Alexa users at once, or designate a person as an emergency contact when asking Alexa to “call for help” or “call my emergency contact.” You can’t set services like 911 as an emergency contact. You can use this section to change preferences and add contacts, including importing them from other apps.

The Communicate tab includes Call, Share, Drop In, and Announce buttons, as well as a field for message/SMS conversations.

Create condition-based routines (automations) for your home and more.

Control Alexa-compatible smart home accessories (lights, locks, speakers, TVs, security cameras, etc.).
