Hi Don, Below are 3 different ways to get rid of this screen:
Read all the way through before attempting any of the options below just to kind of get your head wrapped around what to do. The 1st 2 ways of getting rid of this screen, 1 requires sight and the other requires turning Hands Free on and then off. These steps are using an SE 2020 iPhone running iOS15.2 and with a Home button. #1, If using sight : When you open the A'Lady app and double tap the Devices tab a screen called, Introducing Favorites, shows up and there isn't a way to get rid of that using Voiceover since voiceover can't read the, Got It, button. So, if you have sighted assistance available, open the app and double tab the devices tab to bring up the Introducing Favorites screen, now turn off Voiceover. Have the sighted person tap the, Got It button, 1 time and the screen disappears for good. With a little luck a blind person can do this as well, but it'll possibly take a few tries. Open the app and double tap the devices tab to bring up the Introducing Favorites screen, now turn Voiceover off. >From the top of the, Home button, move up with 1 finger one half an inch to 1 inch, this is the approximate location of the Got It button, and tap 1 time with 1 finger. Now turn Voiceover on to see if you got lucky. #2, this is how I got rid of the Introducing Favorites screen using Voiceover & Hands Free, kinda sorta: Open the Amazon Alexa app and choose the More tab from the tabs at the bottom, it's to the right of the Devices tab. Go to the top left and swipe right to, Settings, and open this. Go to the top left, swipe right to, Alexa App Settings, and open this. Go to the top left, swipe right to,Enable Alexa Hands-Free, and single finger double tap it. You probably won't hear anything after double tapping , so double tap it again and you should hear Voiceover report On or Off. Turn this On and play around with the hands free functionality for a couple of minutes, and go back in and turn hands free off. Now reboot your phone. This is not a guarantee, but this is how I got rid of the Introducing Favorites screen. It was by accident that I happened upon this , but what the hell, as long as it worked who gives a crap! LOL LOL #3: Using Screen Recognition: From: Tamika Polk This is what I did, Go to settings, go to accessibility, go to VoiceOver, go to VoiceOver Recognition, turn on screen recognition. “Your iPhone will automatically make apps more accessible by recognizing items on the screen.” Open the A Lady app, Open theDevices tab and use the rotor to go to screen recognition, if it is off swipe down, it will say on. Then you can find the got it button and tap it. Then go back to the rotor find screen recognition and turn it off. Thanks, Mrs. Tamika Polk-Davis Stay safe and take care. Mike.

I found I was unable to do that. When going to the devices tab I now get a screen that says introducing favorites and I can't find a way to get rid of it or do anying with it at all. This prevents me from working with my devices and speaker groups. Has anyone found a way around this? I did try the pass through gesture with no luck and the amazon website doesn't have the alexa control interface as it used to. Any suggestions appreciated.
