Some Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) carriers. Like tracfone, boostmobile, consumer cellular, etc can push updates and reboot your phone whenever they want.
They run by piggybacking off the major networks but in their contract terms they essentially own your phone, even if you make use of their Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) options. So it's not AT&T doing it, its the MVNO which you signed a contract with to use their network.
Actually, they all probably do it even the major networks, regardless of whatever setting you have on your phone.
My alerts are still all on and at the bottom of the notifications settings. I haven't updated yet but I do have a prompt for 14.3 that I'm going to ignore. I'm currently on 14.1.
Mine ok. Except that, when I checked last week there were only two options: Amber_Alerts and Emergency Alerts. Now a third has been added: Public Safety Alerts and switched to on. No idea how that got there. I haven’t allowed an update since rumors of contact tracing in updates last spring. Iphone Version 13.3.1
My Android hasn't "updated" recently yet somehow my emergency alerts are set to "silent". I can't change it. So iI will still see the alert but only if I'm staring at my phone when it happens. This is new over the last 2 days, as I check it frequently now.
Don't think for a minute they need your permission to push something onto THEIR phone.
ISN'T REMOVING EMERGENCY ALERTS PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK? I MEAN, APART FROM POTUS, APPLE / CARRIER HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU WILL NOT GET WARNINGS ABOUT FLOODS, HURRICANES, STORMS, METEOR SHOWERS, GODZILLA?
THAT'S ACTIONABLE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY REMOVED IT DESPITE YOUR SAYING NO.
I restarted and mine is still gone. Maybe carrier related or iOS version. I’m on straight talk with T-Mobile SIM. My wife’s iPhone is on 14.2 thru Verizon and her alerts are at the bottom still.
When you say restarted, did it run out of battery or did you turn it off? Basically I read that if your phone dies or restart, it will auto update to 14.3 and clear the alerts? Apple!
In the UK they tried to get people to download track and trace, when that didn't work Apple kindly wrote the code for a similar system and bundled it into the update, 14.3 I'm suspecting something similar has taken out your Gov alerts?
I'm still on 13.6, updates are turned off, and I still have gov alerts.
Did you Iphone run out of battery, and switched itself off? If so when you recharged it during that process it may have updated itself?

Mine were set to off today even though I checked last week to make sure they were on. Something fishy going on.
Mine is still here.

I was on 14.2 with updating turned off, and lo and behold if I'm not on 14.3 with all the amber/gov't alert stuff missing.

the FCC already tod all of them they cannot block the EAS....so if they do they are screwed
Amber, Emergency and Public Safety are all in the Government Alerts section which is at the bottom of notifications. Mine still there.
i still have mine.

Mine is still good

That's how panicked they are. And collateral damage has never been a concern for them. This is why the FCC publicy reminded them last week.
Ya but today it’s missing. There’s nothing at the bottom.
Are you on 14.1 or 14.3?

No it’s still 13.6.1. I’m wondering if it’s carrier related.
