๐จ Firestick UPDATE WARNING 2026 ๐จ
Amazon has quietly pushed new Fire TV updates โ and once again, privacy settings have been turned back ON without clearly telling users.
If you own a Firestick, Fire TV, or Fire TV Cube, this video is essential. Even if youโve already changed these settings before, updates reset them, add new options, and re-enable tracking in the background.
In this video, I show you exactly which Firestick settings to turn OFF in 2026 to:
โ Reduce tracking
โ Stop targeted ads
โ Prevent data sharing with third-party apps
โ Clean up your Fire TV experience
โ ๏ธ Some settings appear on some devices but not others, and one key privacy option has even disappeared on certain models, which makes checking your own device more important than ever.
๐ Follow along step-by-step and lock this down properly.

If you want an extra layer of privacy on your Firestick, especially when using third-party apps or shared networks, I recommend using a VPN.
๐ If this helped, donโt forget to like, subscribe, and share โ Amazon updates these settings more often than most people realise.
