Loop hole aka Backdoor into your network.

What "devices" is this feature on?

[@tcitrus]

Thank you. I disabled both.

[@cnethowto]

Nice 👍

[@manemperorofmankind8119]

If you don’t own any Amazon products do you need to worry? Such as a smart TV, computer, iPhone?

[@cnethowto]

I don’t think so. But always good to be safe and check.

I have a Ring doorbell but I don't have the Alexa app. What now? Is Sidewalk only enabled if you have the Alexa app?

Amazon sidewalk isn't even there in account settings

[@BOMBSQUADPYROTECHNICS]

On my app

[@cnethowto]

Been seeing that same issue with others today.

[@BOMBSQUADPYROTECHNICS]

@@cnethowto it has never once been there yet for me ..i checked a few times in the past month and even a few before that nothing for sidewalk

[@somebodymcperson]

According to Reddit it only shows if you have a device that uses it. Not sure how reliable that info is though…

Amazon, Google, Walmart, China, all collecting data on you.
