Did you know that your Smart TV is actually tracking you? We break down the shocking truth about Automatic Content Recognition (ACR), a hidden feature in most smart TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, and more. This feature captures snapshots or audio of what you’re watching and sends it to company servers to analyse your viewing habits. Yes, this includes Netflix, YouTube, DTH, gaming consoles like PlayStation 5, and even USB content.
Here's how you can turn it off on your TV:
Samsung TV: Menu - Settings - General & Privacy - Terms & Privacy - Uncheck "Viewing Information Services"
LG TV: Settings - General- System - Additional Settings - Turn Off "Live Plus"
Sony TV: Settings - All Settings - Disable "Samba Interactive TV"
Roku, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Insignia, Onn, Sharp & more TVs: Settings - Privacy - Smart TV Experience - Uncheck "Use Info from TV Inputs"
Xiaomi TV with FireTV OS: Settings - Preferences - Turn off "Automatic Content Recognition"
Do note that if you reset your TV, these settings will be turned back on. So you will have to do this again.
