I received one of these on my phone on Jan. 20th, never before and never since until today. I jumped up hoping this was the military's notification that joe & the hoe are in military custody but it's just a test. Just curious if anyone else has received the same...

I'm on Verizon and haven't gotten a test ever.
I'm showing in settings that I'm receiving Presidential, Extreme, Severe, and AMBER alerts. But I'm also seeing that I haven't received any alert of any kind since July of 2020 so I don't know what's going on because there should've been weather alerts for sure.
By default, test alerts are disabled within the US on all carriers. You can enable this by dialing 500525371# into your phone and call it. To disable just type 500525370# into your phone and hit dial (This was taken from apple support documentation here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202743
I did too! Both today and Jan 20th show a timestamp of exactly 1:00pm as well. Maybe this is just the 'best' time for the test to be broadcast, but I found it interesting
No. But the tests are done monthly so it makes sense. Goong to check my settings again bc I have not gotten any from verizon
Not me. On Verizon
I used to get them but havent since potus ran the check few years back
I thought so too!
