Nailed it - I'd also recomend going over to the Library Tab, scrolling to the bottom, and customizing that so you don't see a bunch of junk. You can also then go to the download option on that screen to further just show stuff you currently have.

[@SimplySmart123]

Great tips! Thank you for sharing!

[@906Guate]

Good video! I use several Kindles running Show Mode and applying these settings has made the Kindles run much smoother. Show Mode is now more stable as it would frequently just run Black screen within a day or two. Thanks again, Cheers!

[@SimplySmart123]

Awesome. Enjoy your improved performance!

[@mgratk]

Black screen might be best, lol. I had to set my Echo Show 8 to night mode, which only shows a dim clock. Why? There are now tons of ads that cannot be disabled. You can get rid of some in the settings, but now they force ads for Alexa Skills(apps), and even if I ask for the weather report, on the second page, 80% of the page is ads.

[@moby1388]

Excellent video, well presented and extremely helpful. Today I received my new Amz Fire HD 10 (no ads) and followed your instructions with ease. One thing did notice: On the section Security & Privacy > Device Administrators > I have Parental Controls ON. I turn it off but it just keeps turning back on. Is this ok? I def do not need nor want parental controls, especially as device administrator! Many thanks.

[@SimplySmart123]

I am glad that you are finding the video helpful. That is strange that the parental controls are coming back on.

[@luvpamelanewton]

It should not be "automatically" turning on by itself. It also requires a pass code to enable it and a pass code to disable it. Unless you are entering a pass code you cannot enable it nor can you disable it.

Great help with the settings Jason, it all seems like a mystery sometimes. Thanks. I was trying to find a way to play KZbin TV on my Fire 10 and instead of installing the Google Play app I found I could log in to my KZbin TV account on the Silk Browser and the live TV will play automatically. Just like on my iPhone.

[@SimplySmart123]

you are welcome! I think you will find if you download the Google play store and KZbin app it will work better.

[@epicglitter7218]

thanks! an excellent, clear, and very helpful video. I'm curious if you have any privacy or other concerns about enabling location for the purpose of finding a lost tablet? I'm absentminded enough to see the benefit in being able to find a lost tablet, yet a bit distrustful of what else Amazon might do with my location info if I keep that option turned on. either way - thanks again for all these tips!

[@SimplySmart123]

I don't have anything to hide so I am not concerned with privacy much.

@SimplySmart123 Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Do you happen to know where the "Location Services" is for the Fire HD 10 (7th Gen)? When I bring up the map app, I want it to show my current location. I've been trying to research this for the past two hours. No luck so far. Thanks in advance for any help - please don't spend moire than ten minutes on this.

[@SimplySmart123]

Since they don't have a cellular signal I don't know if they would be able to triangulate their position like a cell phone for example but you can use wifi. Go to your tablet’s home screen. Swipe down the quick action panel from the top of the screen. Tap on the cog shaped Settings menu option. Tap on Location-based Services. Tap on the toggle so that it says On.

[@SimplySmart123]

Yes you can add Google Chrome by installing an APK file. I have I have a video on how to do that.

Hello. Thank you so much for making those videos. They're really useful for a beginner like me. Anyway, I have a question about the app: Does Kindle Fire 10 (and 10 plus) use ibis Paint good? And Can I delete apps that I don't use?

[@SimplySmart123]

Not sure about that app. But you could install it probably using the Google Play Store and test it out. You can delete any applications that you do not want but you cannot delete anything that comes on the tablet. not sure about that app. But you could install it probably using the Google play store and test it out.

Very helpful video! I am totally new to Fire tablets. I purchased a Fire HD 8+ & have an adult & child profile set up. There is an app installed on the adult profile that I am trying to share on the child profile. I have been researching & going through all the steps to share, but to no avail. Regardless of what I do, I can't get the child profile to see the app. Any suggestions? Also, I do not have Amazon Kids + subscription. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Child profiles are locked down hard. I would just make an adult account for the child with restrictions.

Thanks for the tips! I do not want my Amazon Photos to upload on my fire tablet. Do you know how to turn that feature off, or remove the app?

I think that is a core app so it can't be uninstalled but you don't need to use it.

Good tips. I have a question/ problem. I have the fire 7 tablet and the Buddy Phones (amozon) wireless headset can connect under the adult profile but disconnects and won't re-pair, after switch to kids profile.

Kids profiles are restricted. Just stick with and adult account. The real deal.
