A factory reset returns your Fire TV Stick to its default settings. It deletes your apps, settings, preferences, saved Wi-Fi networks, and APK files.

When you first set up your Amazon Fire Stick, it will have a generic name. You'll need to know that name if you want to cast content to it or connect with your phone or tablet.

This procedure allows your phone to recognize the TV when searching for nearby devices. Here's how to do it: 1. Turn on your Fire Stick device and go to Settings. 2. Select Display & Sounds.

However, on your Fire TV Stick, it's more than that. If you long-press the Home Button, you can unlock a hidden menu that lets you quickly access some of the most common actions on your Fire TV.

The change was initially spotted by AFTNews, highlighting how Amazon 's pre-installed apps, like Amazon Live Shopping, Fire TV Channels, and Prime Video, can't be hidden in the settings.
