FIRESTICK SETTINGS YOU SHOULD TURN OFF NOW
what concert cost us 45 cents 50 cent featuring Nickelback don't forget comment your jokes down below because honestly as you can see I'm really no right so I Logan everybody welcome back right so I know a lot of people I've been purchasing fire sticks and others and products bought there are a lot of settings inside your fire stick that you do want to be turning off and maybe a couple you need to turn on as well to be able to make it perform better and another good thing with turning these settings off it kind of stops Amazon tracking what you're doing on your device so right that being said don't forget see that subscribe button and let's brush off [Music] right so one thing I'm gonna ask and all it |
| FIRESTICK SETTINGS YOU SHOULD TURN OFF NOW |
was the ask this either is like the video and comment down below which Amazon products it is that you use is it the fire stick the fight CV cube the HD Fire tablet I'm interested to see the amount of people which use certain devices so for KFI a stick ii gem fire stick get it comments it down below and let's see how many users use which device right so I'm on the 4k fire stick obviously any Amazon device is gonna be pretty much the same right so when you first buy the fire stick it sets it up and over a lot of people don't actually know where these settings are or what the settings are in general so what we're gonna do we're going to turn a few off and then we're gonna delete a few things we're gonna make sure your fire sticks work in the best he can so it's not sluggish it's not lagging hopefully cure your buffering I'm not saying it's a big stem and that boy hopefully just make it run better and stop Amazon seen what you're doing on your device so right on your fire stick or your Amazon
products your Amazon products yeah if I've got two settings and one should its settings we're gonna go all the way across and you're gonna see first of all preferences and preferences where a lot of the settings are gonna be that we're gonna want to turn off so if I click on this first of all you what your parental controls which is obvious if you don't want your kids to be seeing stuff this parent why I don't restricted are you gonna want to turn that on but you're gonna see now you've got privacy settings so if we click on this device usage data collect app usage data an interest-based ads so these the device usage data use personal data collected by the operating system of the device of marketing so this is more like an ad based kind of thing but they're collecting data about you to see what relevant ads to serve you so first of all you want to switch that off make sure that's enough it's not needed and once again it's another process that the firesticks trains have run by sending your data across to somewhere else right so the next one is collect app usage data as you can see allow the app store to collect information on the frequency and jewelry the use of downloaded apps so he's gonna ace wanting to see what apps you using how long you using them for and shit like that so once again we're gonna turn that off because we don't want any information being collected by Amazon about what we are doing on the device and then next of all you've got interest-based ads and you can even see you've got advertising ID so what we're gonna do we're gonna turn that off as well so as you can see everything inside the privacy settings is turned off right so the next one down you've got beer to monitoring so dates are monitoring monitored data consumption and your Amazon fire stick so
straight away again we're going to turn that off it's a lot of things it's making it run in the background that's gonna kind of make your device run that little bit slower because it's just trying to perform too many tasks but also we don't want we want to keep as privacy and that's really the main reason we're turning all these settings off so the next one now you can see you've got notification sets in so if we click on that you're gonna see just underneath it says out notifications and these are all you install apps but really don't want to receive any notifications on your fire stick so click on them and turn all them bad boys off because it's not needed and then once all those are turned off ding-dang lido that's another good thing we've done so the next one down we've got featured content so if we click on this allow video arts or play and allow video audio also place on it right so what these do on the home screen you're gonna see at the top bar there it's got a little like 90-day fiance and then you've got
whatever else you've got and then it's gonna start playing a video so once again this is gonna slow you device down because it's trying to perform another task so if we go back into the settings and then once we're there we'll go all the way across the preferences again down to featured content and then we're going to turn these off because let's be honest we don't need to be seen those videos playing on the home screen it doesn't really benefit us and it's not really something we need to see and it's another task for the firestick so now as you can see when I'm on it it's not also playing a video anymore it's just scrolling through the images and then at the bottom there you're gonna see metric units and all think this really atz's blood Cerny off anyway because i like to turn everything off I'm my kind of guy Russell next of all you can see you've got my fire TV or it may said my device for you it depends how all the fire stick is but usually it's my fire TV if we click on this you're gonna see you've got developer options and on here just make sure both of those are turned on this time obviously Upsilon on sources lets you download third-party apps to the device and then adb debugging will help you with a lot of things such as Mouse other than that so now we're gonna scroll across the applications and on applications you're gonna see it says game circle if we click on that on select games your progress is saved to the cloud by whisper sync you can turn this functionality off on this device so yes that is one thing we're going to delete again because it's another thing we don't need you've always see Amazon for sauce I don't know I've never had to use that I don't need guest connections and I don't need the Amazon for sauce but if you do leave them on obviously and then you've got App Store the app store you've got automatic openness you've got external market links in-app purchases in-app purchase is quite important if you're using your device and your kids are around it a lot so within some apps you can purchase in-app items some examples of in-app items include newspaper subscriptions additional game levels premium content or extra functionality I'm going to turn that off because if the kids get hold of it I don't want that scenario where the kids spend about 200 pound on shared or media so I'm gonna turn off in-app purchases do I want notifications about the App Store No and then on the external market links you can click on that make sure it's on ask
before opening or dogs open right so now you've kind of Mageia firestick a lot better these days I'm not going to be tracked and I'm as I can't really see what using the device for you're not sending your data over to them they can't collect shit bots we want it to run smoothly and one of the most commonly used download apps on firestick is downloader and if we go to that and we scroll down to downloader we're gonna launch this application and that are the left-hand side you're gonna see it says files and this is like mega important because on firestick there's not much storage on there it's all so if you click on that these are the files you've downloaded so once you download it install an app you need to delete the installation file but if you don't it goes into the files and as you can see 19.3 mega by 70 1.3 mega by so that's taking up a lot of storage and these are dead files are just
installation files so what you're going to want to do is long hold with the enter button and then click on delete and just make sure all that's clear so you've got as much storage as you need for the device and then one last thing that we do recommend to make sure your privacy is safe is using a VPN and ipvanish is the one I recommend personally and it's the one I use and it's also available in the Amazon App Store then it's as simple as once you launch it you just connect to whatever server you're one and then there you go it's keeping you safe it lets you access to your alot contents or if you need to be in the USA to watch a program there you can put the server over to USA and there you go that thing well the device thinks you're in that location but the best thing with a VPN for me is as you can see visible location it gives your device a completely new IP address so if you're using third-party applications like your movie apps your live TV apps I would definitely recommend that you do use a VPN we do have a bunch of free VPNs on the website let's crack on dog in the download section so you can go ahead and try one of those as well they're not fully recommended we doing all the
permissions and all that shit both the there if you don't want to spend on such as ipvanish and while we'll do I'll leave this link in the description down below and they've done it so that my viewers get fifty seven percent off the actual VPN price which I think's kind of awesome so that's it for this video I know it's kind of a boring kind of video it's odd so I my laughs wish to fly this because he should do this do that do this well I could say do the same as I've just shown in that video make sure those settings are turned off and make sure the settings I did say to turn on turn them on and anything I haven't shown in this video do comment down below and let me know because I've got tendency to forget things another first thing you will find us a lot of videos like this is streaming news it's Doc's quit fees moved over there and that's definitely a channel worth looking out so having said I hope you enjoy the rest of your day don't forget to that subscribe button down below and I'll see you soon Sarah Russell the next one now you're gonna see says collect a pusat dancer I did say you'll see them there and then on the external market market you can also connect well you can also like I said they are just do the same of what Oh God cancel shit
