"We've seen how our users enjoy using their favorite voice commands with Alexa to play music and control other home automation devices. We're excited to make Alexa available to more users around the world."
Countries that will now have this feature will have access to the international version of Alexa, which has voice control in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Users can enjoy Alexa on a variety of voice-controlled Sonos devices such as Sonos Roam, Move, Arc, Beam, Five and One.
