Although, the Edge Sense app is now updated to support Alexa. HTC U11 users are unable to see Alexa in action, it means, the feature exist as just dummy. HTC is ensuring that complete rollout of Alexa will happen only by next Monday i.e. 17th of this Month.
So, the users of HTC U11, please bear some patience, and wait for the Alexa to arrive completely.
