If you're tired of saying “Alexa” before every command, you can utilize the follow-up mode to stop using the trigger word over and over. Another added advantage of switching to the follow-up mode is that it’ll make your life easier when you’ve got a bunch of tasks to complete via voice command, and best of all, the follow-up mode is super easy to activate. Here’s how.  You can activate the follow-up mode on your Alexa app by tapping on “Settings,” and then “Device Settings.” Next, choose your device and select the follow-up mode option. Tap on the slider to activate the mode, and you're done.
