Amazon just gave its portable speaker a much needed update.

The company is adding hands-free functionality to the Echo Tap, finally bringing it up to speed with the other devices in the Echo Line. 。

Set to roll out over the next couple weeks, the new feature can be enabled in the Alexa app.。 Why we are only getting this now, nearly a year after the Echo Tap first launched, is the big question.
