This shared network can extend limited network connectivity to devices on the network who's primary network connection is no longer available, and can provide instant authentication when you're setting up new devices. The other added benefit of Amazon Sidewalk is that it can be used to provide a location for trackers that work on the network, such as Tile devices. And while Amazon Sidewalk is enabled by default on all Amazon Alexa devices, thankfully, if you're not comfortable with Amazon Sidewalk, Amazon makes it easy to turn the feature off. Additionally, the steps to turn off Amazon Sidewalk on your Ring devices are different, and I'll link to my video about how to turn off Amazon Sidewalk on Ring in the description for this video. Now let's walk through the steps to turn off Amazon Sidewalk. Step 1. Launch the Amazon Alexa app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Alexa home screen. Step 2. Tap "More" in the row of menu items on the screen. A menu is displayed. Step 3. Scroll down this list and then tap "Settings." The Settings screen is shown. Step 4. Tap "Account Settings." Another menu is displayed. Step 5. Tap "Amazon Sidewalk." The Amazon Sidewalk screen is shown. Step 6. Tap to toggle off "Enabled." The Amazon Sidewalk feature is now turned off on all of your Amazon Alexa devices.
