Turn the listening off
Stop a device listening whenever you want, without unplugging anything.
A smart speaker has a microphone button on top. Press it and the microphones are cut, with a red ring showing.
On a phone the same decision is a switch in Settings.
Key points
- The microphone button on a speaker cuts it, and shows a red ring
- On a phone it is a switch you can leave off
What to remember
- It is still there, waiting for a button now.
- The microphone button cuts the microphone. Volume only cuts the voice.
Try this
