If you don’t want your smart devices to become a part of Amazon’s new sidewalk network then you have to go through some very simple steps to disable sidewalk on your Echo speaker.

However, you need to keep in mind before disabling, that your sidewalk can automatically grab some network from your neighbors. That means you will still be notified even after switching off your Wi-Fi. So let’s get into the part where you will get know about how you can stop Sidewalk from operating on your smart home.

Disabling Amazon Sidewalk on your Amazon Echo speaker

  1. Open the Alexa app.
  2. Head over to more, placed in the bottom bar.
  3. Click settings.
  4. Then go to account settings.
  5. Then tap Amazon Sidewalk.
  6. Then turn Amazon Sidewalk Off.

And you are done.

  2. Click the menu.
