[@rebeccadietrich8925]

Thanks so much. I definitely don't want the sidewalk feature or drop in! Now turned off!

[@laboucheautomatic6174]

Thank you

[@twystedhumour]

very helpful, even if i don't use alexa.

[@hktmc300]

Hi, how do you turn off "share" for lists and notes. Right now, my lists and notes show up in all my family member's phone.

[@amclinden2010]

Side walk is no here in the uk or I just can’t find it

[@JoshSmith-dv8ec]

Uk does not yet have that option sidewalk

[@CardboardGuy]

First. Love the video!

[@bhanudasoar3411]

This was really useful, thank you so much!

[@8bitwidgets]

How do you disable "Alexa, where am I located?" what i have found is that if you're playing any kind of online game with a mic, someone online could (over speaker) ask "Alexa, where am i located?" and she will give out your home address openly. While I get this is a kinda specific situation, knowing that Alexa will just give out your address when asked that question is bothersome.

[@clee888]

how do you turn off motion detection?

[@briankelly1240]

Nice, now I need to get an Alexa

[@JuliaB1955]

Does anyone know if Alexa on Fire Stick (my TV is a Toshiba Regza from 2009, not a Smart TV) saves voice queries? Thank you.

[@JuliaB1955]

@@streamingjunkie4397 Thank you. I'm new at this so I'll investigate the settings on the TV screen and see if I can disable what I don't want. If not, I'll check out the app. Thank you again. ~Juli

[@RitualByDesign]

How do I turn off the shutter?

[@peterking2794]

Interesting video. However, I'm not worried about those settings as I won't have Alexa in the house! awful things.

[@FlyinZX10R]

While my internet was down, my neighbors was still up. My ring floodlight cam continued to operate

[@pierrejeanes]

Can alexa obey without saying saying what it's going to do?

[@Nb-qg2xj]

that's creepy because I have an echo show 5 in my room

[@shaneadams3028]

Thanks I turned all of them off thank you thank you thank you 😊

[@lukaslukas3410]

Like honestly U couldn’t just get to the point too much pointless Info just cover the stuff instead of dragging it

[@charlespierce3647]

If you are smart you won't use Alexa. Why be spied on 24/7?

[@FlyinZX10R]

Better ditch the phone too! They sell faraday type cases for phones though

[@dudicalbob6454]

Dude good vibes is so friggin annoying
