Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users online activities. If found streaming or browsing content on your Fire TV Stick, mobile or PC, you could get into serious trouble.

Currently, the following information is visible:

If this is your real information, you need to use a VPN to protect your identity.

5. Click on “MX Player” App and go to “Uninstall.”

Note: Always clear data and cache before you start uninstalling apps. This way you will be able to get rid of all app data such as login credentials that have been stored in the app. On the other hand, when you clear the cache, all app’s temporary data will be erased. This is important because leftover temporary data can take up a huge amount of space in your device.

6. Confirm it and click again “Uninstall.” At this point, the App is uninstalled from your Firestick.

6. The apps you download from Amazon Appstore and not from other sideloading apps will still remain in the cloud if you don’t remove them from it.
To do it, just click again on the menu button on your remote controller and go to “Remove from Cloud.” The Youtube App in this case will not appear under Apps on your Firestick anymore.
