I got around this issue with one of the methods Mike described earlier. Just to revisit: I opened the Alexa app and tapped the devices tab. The impassable screen appeared and I then turned off VO and tapped approx 3 quarters of an inch above the home button and when I turned VO back on I was past that annoying screen with the got it button that voiceover doesn't recognize.
Thanks Mike for this work-around. Kim On 1/7/22, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Don, I had the same problem a few weeks ago.
