“Whether you’re telling mom about your wedding plans, talking Echo VR strategy with friends, or discussing confidential work projects, you can add an extra layer of privacy and security to your personal chats with our industry-leading technology,” the company said in the blog post.

The software update also brings some other options as well. For instance, there is a new “Mono Audio” feature that enables users to hear the same audio from both the left and right speakers in their headset versus the default spatial audio effect. You can also adjust the balance of the left and right audio channels.

Additionally, the update also brings a new App Unlock feature. The feature will let users put specific games and apps behind an unlock pattern. It will provide more security as users need to input the pattern every time they want to unlock and launch it. This feature is also helpful in way that it ensures that children can only access age-appropriate games.
