If you share your Fire tablet with family members, did you know that Alexa is disabled if you turn parental controls on? This is an easy way to shut off Alexa, without doing a bunch of complicated things in the settings menu. Then go back one screen to “All” and do the same thing with the Alexa Cards app. Once that is done go to Settings>Apps&Games>Manage All Apps, then swipe left three times to the “All” category and select the Alexa app Icon and do a force stop, then clear the data and the Cache.

To stop Alexa from coming up when home is held, go to Settings>Device Options and look for the Alexa title, on my Kindle it’s the 4th title down from the top, then tap the slider to make it so Alexa doesn’t come up when home is held. Although you cannot uninstall Alexa, there are a few things you can do to turn it off.
