How to Opt Out on Ring
Open the Ring app. Tap the three lines in the upper left corner. Choose Control Center. Select Sidewalk. Engage with the Sidewalk slider bar. Confirm your desire to disable the service.
Special instructions also apply to some Apple users. More specifically, you may need to update your operating systems or apps first. If you have operating systems older than iOS 14.6 or Ring apps older than version 5.39, you may not see Sidewalk-related settings before upgrading.
Get Informed Before Deciding
Fortunately, you can activate and deactivate your Sidewalk settings anytime.
