7 Alexa Features You Need To Turn OFF Right NOW

[@mrs.monicautt6268]

A family member died in April. It is so comforting to be able to go back and hear his voice. So glad this feature was on. Looking into saving these on anther device. Drop in is fantastic for my mom with dementia. All us adult kids can drop in on her throughout the day and see that she is okay. She doesn't need to remember how it works, which is awesome. She just hears our voice and excitedly comes running over to see who came in to visit! Love it!

[@scapeshiftmeta]

Thanks for sharing your story!

[@wendyjordan5755]

Great video! I purchased the pop so I can drop in on my mom. So far it has been very helpful

The Alexa drop-in feature has stopped working for me and I have no idea why. We have 5 Alexas all over the house and this was a useful feature in our 3 story house. We unplugged each of them one at a time and plugged them back in and that solved the problem for one day but we are back to the same problem again. If I tell it to "drop-in everywhere" it tells me we are online with 4 other devices and if I then try and drop-in to one device it says I can't because there is a session already open but we can't make use of that session. Nothing I do, works. ****** When I use the Alexa app on my phone this feature works fine. I did NOTT need another unexplained problem to solve. WRZ 2023-03-02

[@user-oc6qs1po3j]

Best part was you walked us through each thing. Not just said turn this off. For us new users it was very very helpful. Thank you

[@gbjbasdw1]

Totally agree with you on this. It's a real pain when people don't explain how to get to the option. Additionally many of the options like SIDEWALK for example, do NOT exist on UK devices. So showing the phone's settings screen makes it easy to see that they don't exist over here.

[@reneepurpleharris7510]

I concur👏🏾

You are so awesome. I would never have figured that these things were on my device and defaulted to do or release all this information.

Don't know if you know, you can use Alexa to call for help, should you fall or whatever. She won't call 911, but she will call a contact that you need to add to list. Very easy.

[@theorushinjr9023]

The Drop In feature is one of the top reasons I bought the Echo Show. We want an intercom-like feature in our house so we could call each other for help in cases when either of us are unable to move about.

[@nEthing4Her]

Definitely something that's useful in some situations. When the wife and I retire in a couple of years we're headed down to where the grandkids are. We may definitely do this so that we have instant communication with them in case something happens to us.

I really love my Echo and Alexa and so does the rest of my family, but privacy IS a big thing too.

Great video, however some of the features you mentioned were not in my device like sidewall. Is this perhaps because I am in Australia?

[@almostthere3733]

Great informational video. Reminder though, it is possible that everytime Amazon does 'silent' updates, they may be resetting all of their configuration back to default settings, so in the case of Sidewalk, they may be turning it back on without you knowing it. I hate having to turn my "customizable" options back to my personal choices.

You can turn off "background app refresh" in iPhone Settings (sorry, don't know about Android.) Kind of a nuclear option but at least you'll be in control of when the app is updated.

Another tip: when whisper mode is activated, try asking Alexa to tell you a joke... it makes her punchlines 100x funnier.

1. I didn't even have this app on my phone. I had to first find out how to add it. 2. Great video. 3. Easy to follow along and pause. 4. He doesn't speak in what I call 'speed rap' like a lot of youtubers do so that was really nice. 4. I don't do things like shop or email on my phone - all I do is make a few calls or text now and then when I'm away from home. (I have a landline which is my primary phone) So knowing this stuff was very helpful. So, because of my limited usage of the phone, do I really even need this app? Are all of those things that I just turned off there whether or not I have the app? If not, then I'll just delete it and go back to the way it was.

As far as drop in, you do not need to worry about it. Nobody can drop in unless you give them permission. If you turn this feature off,you will not be able to drop in in your devices if you wanted to either. And if you turn off this feature you can not use your devices as intercom system. It's nice to drop in if your out to check on pets.

[@ChristinaH811]

Exactly!

for anyone who got stuck like me you have to delete the playlist option or it'll just play the same song over and over, idk may have just been me but this fixed it, other than that great video thank you so much this help me so much.

[@RealStuntPanda]

I find the drop-in feature extremely useful. I live next door to my elderly mother and SUPER elderly great aunt (she's 98), both have dementia. I can keep an eye on them and ask if they need something without walking next door. I have two Echo 5s in my parents' house and three in mine so I have two of my Echoes setup up to constantly monitor the two next door. Granted this is a very specific use case but it's exceptionally useful and time saving. All the Echoes and Rings are attached to my accounts of course. Oh! And those little 5s are great in stereo mode. I was surprised how good the speakers are.

[@MrJsii69]

Let me first say that it was an informative video and I did give it a thumbs up but if you are disabling all of the features then I wander why you have the units at all. I'm new to Alexa (but not tech or PA's) and I just purchased 17 of these for Christmas for my home and I can't see disabling any of the features mentioned. The only one that I really even paused and considered was the internet access feature however that would have been to preserve bandwidth for the home but nothing else. I'm sure you are aware that most cable and other internet providers use your equipment to provide hotspots for other people anyway and you can not disable that feature (short of not using their equipment). So if someone connecting to your devices without your consent is the issue that already happens everyday. The other features are useful although the "brief mode" might get considered if she just is talking too much.With the amount of information that is gathered on us daily I'm not too concerned if my voice recordings are being catalogued. The camera hacking is a possible real threat but I ordered devices with camera covers so although I won't be disabling the feature we will keep them covered until being used. I'm sure I'll go through and delete the recordings at random times but its really for the same reason that I delete the history and cache from my computer's browser which has nothing to do with privacy. I guess through it all my view is that given the amount of information that Facebook, Google, social media platforms and others have on us we limit the amount that we post or voluntarily give out but Alexa won't be collecting a whole lot of new data but even if she did, ok....I just want to find out how to get the car extended warranty spammers from stop calling my phone!!! Happy Holidays

[@Nirrrina]

I'm pretty much the same. If I'm going to have it I'm going to use it. But I do think they should have things like sidewalk & drop-in disabled until you click on something to knowingly give permission. I mean I have Google opinions app that has surveys. They constantly were you at this store on this date. So I know they're tracking me & I have given permission for it. Because I want to use the money I earn on it for games & renting movies. As for sidewalk. Yeah I'd enable it if for no other reason than it could help return a lost pet. Personally I'd be completely devastated if anything happened to my cats. They're all I have. Still I'm probably not going to be buying one because I don't really want one.

[@patriciadever9685]

Great information everyone can benefit from. These days, silicon Valley has invaded out lives to the point where we have to turn things off to have privacy. Even then it is questionable. Nevertheless, we need more videos like this to make people aware of who may have access, what is being recorded and who may be watching without our knowledge and most importantly, how to protect ourselves.
