@AmazonHelp Why have the voice command changed on my #FireTVCube? "Press select ”no longer opens the highlighted icon and"Open Apps"no longer open the recently used apps. Ive a high level #SpinalCordInjury and rely on the #VoiceCommands, this is so #frustraing! #accessibility

Hi @RoyalMail @Parcelforce, my Express 24 parcel was collected Mon but has been stuck at Belfast Depot since Tue. I know Isle of Man deliveries can take an extra day, but it's now Friday. Could you please check when the next transit slot across is? Thanks!

Hey @SwitchBot I love your products, do you have any plans to sell the Robot Vacuum in the UK?
Hey @AmazonUK @AmazonHelp @amazonfiretv When using the @Android #Firetv remote #app the #FireTVCube allows you to adjust the volume but the #FireTVSoundbar does not give you this option!? Can you update it please? It would make things alot easier! #accessibility

Hey @NetatmoSupport @netatmo I like the widgets for Android #weatherstation but is there anyway to stop them changing colour through the night? I use them as a display and some of the colours are difficult to read.

Hi @SomaHome I want to control 4 Blinds that are at opposite ends of my house. 3 blinds in 1 room and then a single blind in another room. Will the Soma Connect control all 4 ? or do you need seperate hubs at each end of the house ?

Great to see so many people that have viewed Jon’s inspirational story
A former paratrooper from #Hampshire has become one of the first people in the UK to get a robotic arm. Jon Noble says it's given his life purpose again after a car crash left him paralysed from the neck down. More: bit.ly/3hJfoyR @supportourparas @SSAFA @HelpforHeroes
