Reset Fire Stick Without Remote Control

So, if you already used a 3rd-party universal remote and tried Bluetooth keyboard as well but can’t find any luck? Then the last option we have left is to use the Fire TV remote application to reset. It is the best app that can be downloaded from Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store free of cost.

This app provides the simple and easy to use interfaces like touch Gesture or navigation keys for moving left, right, up, down. Even though it is best to type quickly using the phone’s keyboard and it comes with the Alexa button as well. This is quite amazing as I personally use it because of the keyboard for searching apps or content.

  • First, go to your App Store on Android or iOS and search for Fire TV Remote and open the first app.
