Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series (2022)
Built-in far-field microphone
Has micThis model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.
Amazon's device specification page lists "Far-field Alexa control / Hands-free voice control: Supported" for this model and describes the Omni QLED Series as "hands-free with Alexa voice control". The page's Mic row is blank for this model. The 2025 Omni QLED, by contrast, needs a linked Echo for hands-free use.
Automatic content recognition (ACR), including over HDMI
Has ACRThis model has Amazon's ACR feature (branded "Automatic Content Recognition"), which analyzes on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.
What ACR is and how to turn it off →
Amazon's help page says that when ACR is enabled on a Fire TV smart TV, Amazon identifies what you watch through connected devices such as a cable box, and that it is managed at Settings → Preferences → Privacy Settings → Automatic Content Recognition. Amazon doesn't say whether it is on by default. Enabling it on one Fire TV device doesn't enable it on others.
Ads in the TV's own menus
Personalisation onlyFire TV shows ads in its own menus. They can't be turned off, but the settings below change how they're personalised.
Amazon Ads lists home-screen placements on Fire TV, including banners, sponsored tiles and sponsored screensavers.

What that actually means for your TV →
Amazon's Software Security Updates page lists the Fire TV Omni QLED Series 65 and 75-inch with security updates until at least 31 December 2030, or at least four years from purchase if bought new from Amazon, whichever is later. Those rows give no release year; the 2025 sets have their own rows. Amazon says this isn't a guarantee of how long the device will last. Checked 19 Oct 2026.

Amazon's privacy FAQ covers Fire TV devices from other brands too. Same path in the UK and US.
No setting to turn them off is documented. Amazon's Fire TV privacy FAQ describes Interest-based Ads as telling apps that use the device's advertising ID not to use it to build ad profiles or target interest-based ads; it doesn't say the ads stop.
