Set your own last-watched boundary
Write down the season, episode and approximate point reached. A refresher for a completed previous season is a different request from remembering the first half of an episode. Choosing the right scope is especially important when different household viewers have reached different points.
For example, a returning viewer who finished season one may want a whole-season refresher before season two. A viewer who stopped midway through season one needs a narrower reference. Do not ask another person to choose blindly from their more advanced viewing position if avoiding later plot information matters.
Inspect the recap format and scope
Amazon describes X-Ray Recaps as contextual text summaries that can cover episodes, a season so far or a previous season. Its Video Recaps announcement describes narrated visual summaries for supported series and a recap choice on the next season’s detail page.
Read the offered option before selecting it. A text refresher and a visual season summary are not interchangeable merely because both use the word recap. Amazon describes spoiler-reduction guardrails for X-Ray; that product description should not replace your own check that the selected scope matches what you have watched.
Treat availability as conditional
The reviewed launch announcements describe limited U.S. beta availability and supported series/devices. They do not establish universal Australian availability or prove that every present-day receiver has the same button. Inspect what the current title page actually offers and check current local help if it is absent.
A missing recap is therefore not enough reason to reinstall a working video app. Use the episode guide or revisit a known earlier passage if a suitable recap is unavailable. When seeking support, report the title, intended scope, territory and receiver. That identifies a feature-availability question without claiming a global rollout that the reviewed announcements do not support.

Do these announcements prove every Australian title has a recap?
No. The reviewed announcements describe limited launch availability; inspect the current title and local support.
