I think anything emergency services would override anything you set.
Naw, I disabled amber alerts on android and they stopped. Weather too. Only presidential alerts you cannot disable
On iPhone I have everything turned off and I still got a notification last night about how “Governor Gun Grab was imposing “curfews” in north VA
get curfew blocker and maybe it means you can still go out at night
I can disable mine...
Edit actually mine doesn't have presidential listed.....
When Trump tested the system like a year ago, my phone preferences were set to not allow emergency alerts. It didn't matter, his test message still came through. I'm sure they have settings bypass capabilities
yeah they probably have override options before sending
It didn't used to allow turning off presidential or alerts at that level. It does now allow turning it off.
Open the Settings app. Tap on Notifications. Scroll all the way down. Make sure “Emergency Alerts” and “Public Safety Alerts” are turned on. Think AMBER alerts can stay off if you don’t want those, but may not hurt to have it on just in case.
I have a lot of stuff blocked on my phone too!
Makes me wonder since google and apple control android and iphone respectively, how hard would it be to disable the alerts, unless it's on a hardware level.
I guess don't install any updates for a while...?
My iPhone updated w/o my ok (which always asks me) on election nite. And still haven’t figured out.
