Amazon is planning to automatically enroll owners of its devices in a program that would share a slice of their internet connection with neighbors.<\/p>\n

Amazon confirmed in an email to USA Today that the program will launch on eligible Echo devices starting June 8.<\/p>\n

Amazon Sidewalk is a low-bandwidth shared network the tech giant says will not only allow your devices to work better, but help locate lost items.<\/p>\n

The network shares “a small portion of your internet bandwidth which is pooled together to provide these services to you and your neighbors,” reads a descript<\/a>ion on Amazon’s website. “And when more neighbors participate, the network becomes even stronger,” it claims.<\/p>\n

Amazon says its Sidewalk feature has multiple layers of privacy and security to protect personal information, but users will have the option to turn off Sidewalk if they decide not to participate.<\/p>\n

Ring owners with an eligible device can opt out by visiting the control center in the Ring app or Ring website. Customers who own an eligible Echo device can make changes in Settings in the Alexa app.<\/p>\n

Amazon says customers who purchase an eligible Echo device for the first time will have the chance to disable Sidewalk during the setup process.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of devices Amazon says support Sidewalk:<\/p>\n
