I don’t see “Auto Offload” any where in the “applications” setting…Just all the apps I have loaded on Firestick. What am I missing?

Go to firestick/tv settings
Then go to applications
If the update came through
Auto Offload should be there.

Check your storage settings also

I think I just got excited too soon. I just had an update go through a few days ago but it wasn’t the “8”. I’m still in the 6s. So I’m guessing the option hasn’t arrived yet if that sounds right.

I just told my FS to update and thre it was, turned it off. I hate when you buy something and don’t own it.

Ya, they roll them out in stages. Mostly by serial number blocks.

My two devices finally got it. And turned off now. No change in OS number. Secretive Amazon update.

My older Insignia FireTV did not recieve that update. Both other TVs did, and i quickly disabled it. Reason: On both that got the update, their “new feature” decided to offload (and disable) my SurfShark and SmartYouTube. Seems pretty suspicious, huh?
