Have an Amazon Echo at home? With Drop In, you can pop in on your speaker or one owned by a friend or family member who gives you access. It’s an excellent way to say hello without picking up the phone.

To enable Drop In:

• Open the Alexa app and tap Devices.
• Select Echo & Alexa, then select the device you want to use.
• Tap the settings icon in the top right corner, then choose Communications.
• Tap the toggle to enable Drop In and other communications.
• Tap Drop In to customize who can Drop In. You can select My Household to limit this to only devices on your account.

You can now use the Alexa app to pop into your Echo devices. In the app, tap Communicate at the bottom of the screen, then Drop In. Choose the device you want from the list.

Best part: You get an entire year of protection on five devices for just $19!

It's no secret that you're being watched and tracked as you browse the internet. Companies want to know what you're doing so they can hit you with targeted ads. They do this using third-party cookies, tracking your activity across multiple websites. But how do you know who is tracking you? Luckily there's a free tool that can help.

I read every single email I get, and a common theme this year has been folks worried someone is snooping on their phones. If you suspect someone is accessing your info, here's your action plan. Follow these steps for peace of mind, fast.
