Viewing a List

  • “Alexa, tell AnyList view the grocery list”
  • “Alexa, ask AnyList to show my packing list”
  • “Alexa, ask AnyList what is on my shopping list”
  • “Alexa, ask AnyList what items are on my household list”

Voice Interactions With a List on the Screen

Note: When AnyList is open on the screen of your device, such as when viewing a list, you must omit "ask AnyList" / "tell AnyList" from your commands, as shown in the examples below.

When a list is being shown on the screen, you can ask Alexa to read the items by saying things like:

  • “Alexa, read it”
  • “Alexa, read the list”
  • “Alexa, speak the items”

When a list is being shown on the screen, you can ask Alexa to modify the list by saying things like:

  • “Alexa, add milk”
  • “Alexa, remove eggs”
  • “Alexa, cross off bread”

Touch Interactions With a List on the Screen

When a list is being shown on the screen, you can:

  • Scroll up or down to view all the items on your list
  • Tap once on an item to cross it off your list
  • Swipe from right to left to remove an item from your list
