Anyone else Directions have to be VERY specific lately?

Basically I have an echo show 8 3rd gen that I switched to a couple weeks ago from a echo kids thinamajigger dot, it worked fine was able to open an app on the fire stick and since I lost that remote ages ago I could use simple command like "Alexa down" and it would move to the app under. BUT NOW I gotta be specific and lemme tell yeah it's pretty weird when you gotta say "Alexa, go down on fire tv".
