Rebel t6 (1300d) doesn't have a option to focus automatically at all times while recording?

I have been looking in the camera manual for quite sometime, it seems that the camera won't focus automatically when I don't press the shutter button. I want the camera to focus automatically at all times so I can vlog more easily.I am wondering if this is a software problem or is it just that the camera itself doesn't have this function. Does anybody knows which one is it?

This is by design.  (to a certain extent)  Have you looked at live view?  See page 148 > of your manual.  Keep in mind tracking will not be 100% precise.  This body only has 9 AF points.

yup, it seems that it is indeed a design problem. There is no such option to choose
