Amazon has come up with a surprise for its iPhone users. The e-retail company has rolled out a new shopping app on iOS that comes with a new logo and a bunch of new features.
Amazon rolls out a new shopping app for Apple iPhone users
When users open their existing apps, they will be prompted to a screen that asks users to download the app by the company that has more features. The message in the app says, “Support for this app will stop soon.”
To download the new Amazon shopping app on your iPhone, users will have to tap on the Install now button in their existing app. This will open a new window that will allow the users to download and install the new app. Once the users install the new app, which is 105MB in size, they can delete the old app from their iPhones. Amazon will automatically transfer the data, such as your order history and your existing orders, from the old app to the new app once it is installed.
The logo of the old had half a basket in Blue with the Amazon logo on top and white background, while the new logo has the Amazon logo on top with a white background and a shopping cart at the bottom in white against a blue background.
Amazon says that the new app has features like the UPI and money transfer in it. In terms of the user interface, the new Amazon shopping app is almost identical to the old one.
Earlier last month, Amazon has rolled out support for voice commands to its shopping app in India. Users can now search for products, select additional items to cart, check the status of their online order and also proceed to checkout to finally buy the items by just talking to Amazon after tapping the mic icon.
For instance, the newly introduced features allow users to use voice commands such as, “Alexa add salt to my shopping cart” or “Alexa, show me wooden cupboards” to purchase new items via the e-retail platform.
