Unfortunately Amazon is notorious for changing the menus in their apps and failing to update their online documentation to reflect those changes. Some of their online documentation for devices looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time. I recently tried to use the Fire TV OS app via my TV and Fire TV Cube 2 to restart my Fire TV Recast when it stopped allowing me to delete recordings. Occasionally it does that, but restarting it fixes the issue. I keep the Fire TV Recast in my study next to my WiFi router, so if I have to get up to go restart it manually it means going into another room. I'm lazy in my old age and prefer to keep comfy in my recliner, so using the menu to restart it is a lot better for me. Long story short, Amazon's documentation was outdated and the Restart menu item wasn't where it had been. It took a while to locate where they moved it, and a quick internet search was involved.
The Amazon Alexa app for iOS and iPadOS change constantly. Keeping up with where menu items get relocated is a royal PITA! Plus Amazon often adds new features and turns them on without telling us, so stranger than usual behavior often occurs after FW updates to Echo devices.
