How do I turn off the automatic announcement, "Hello, you are being recorded..."
My ring doorbell is now announcing to anyone approaching that they are being recorded. I don't want that announcement made. It makes friends and visitors uncomfortable. How do I turn off that announcement. My doorbell did not used to do this.

Had the same thing start this week. All toggles in the app are set to OFF /FALSE. They were never turned on. Yet all the cameras now make the announcement - even the battery powered ones... Which Ring claims do not support said feature. Please someone - make this stop!

UI talked to their support and they said it has to do with an update. If tour cameras are more than two years old then you will need to purchase either the one time update for $99.00 or $199.00 for lifetime updates. They want to nickel and dime you.

CThere are no paid updates for Ring devices. The Motion Warning feature can be toggled off at any time in the Ring app. If you need further assistance, please contact our social support team @Ring on Facebook, X, or Instagram.

Yes. I finally had a chance to call ring support and they said they have begun rolling out firmware updates in short of battery units and this setting. The agent has me pull the batteries from each unit doing it for 30 seconds, then put it back in. Seems to have reset then back to normal no announcement mode.

That didn't work to fix this issue with my doorbell. In addition, I've heard from people that they don't actually ring the doorbell when they hear that because they assume that the announcement serves as the doorbell ring. That's definitely not helpful.
