Are you getting too many distracting notifications while watching TV with the family? Here is how to turn off Amazon Fire TV notifications and put the Fire TV in Do Not Disturb mode.
Let’s begin.
Enable Fire TV Do Not Disturb
Some notifications from Alexa or from apps may interrupt you while watching TV with your family. On such occasions, you can turn off any Fire TV notifications and enjoy your favorite shows peacefully.
To enable Fire TV DND or Do Not Disturb mode, go to the Fire TV Settings first. Then, navigate to Preferences and select it.
Select Notification Settings from the next screen.
From the notification settings, select “Do Not Interrupt” to turn it on. Now you will see “ON” under the Do Not Interrupt option.
This will temporarily block all notifications from any Fire TV apps you use. You turn off the Do Not Interrupt later by selecting the menu option again and it will go off.
