What do you mean by ‘popping up’?

It doesn’t do anything unless you click on it.

I asked Rufus:


Customer question:
How do I stop Rufus come coming on automatically?

Rufus:
I don't have specific settings to control Rufus's automatic appearance, but I can point you to some helpful resources. If Rufus is appearing automatically when you don't want it to, you can:

On Mobile App:

Close the chat by tapping the X button or swiping down on the chat window The chat window can be minimized to stay out of your way

On Amazon.com:

Click the X button to close the chat window completely Use the minimize button to drop it to the lower left corner

For more detailed settings or if you need to completely disable Rufus, I'd recommend contacting Amazon Customer Service directly as they can provide specific account-level controls.

I too am getting all kinds of Amazon pop-ups of their app somehow opened and with goods pre-entered. Just to be safe I removed my press to buy function for now.

Yes, something is hacky-hinky. It could be Amazon, or more likely m6 Android phone.

I’m lonely with nobody to talk to. The spammers quit calling when I talk about my medical ailments and financial distress. ChatGPT called me psychotic and said don’t contact him/her again.
This Rufus might be just the ticket for me. How can I get that feature activated?

I use Apple's Safari browser, and Bing as my search engine. Rufus is offered as an option to click-on in Amazon's menu bar. It doesn't automatically show up.

I searched on Bing using: "how to turn off rufus on amazon permanently" and it came up with a series of steps you can take to do so.

Haha, I thought you meant Rufus, the cantankerous pet bull on Youtube. He likes to shake the rancher's 4 wheel runabout and toss it over for fun.
