Hi,
It is on some models but it doesn't fix the app problem which in my case is the 
speaker shutting off when the app is opened.  I did however find a work around 
that solves the problem for me.
After opening the Alexa app, go to the home screen.  Next, open the App 
Switcher.  Select the Alexa app from the App Switcher and double tap it.  When 
the Alexa app is selected and is on screen it will work fine.
Don't know if this will work for all phone models but it does for my 2020 SE.
HTH -Steve

Are you sure it's not called VoiceOver Recognition? I have an iPhone XR, and 
between Braille and Verbosity is an item called VoiceOver Recognition.


Thanks,
