Keep in mind that the delivery of something of this scale almost certainly cannot be entirely simultaneous. Pushing hundreds of millions of messages, through various channels, to hundreds of millions of devices will absolutely take time. At least a few minutes.
Twitter has entire server racks dedicated to individual accounts, just to handle the fan-out.

Depends on how it was designed. This is easy to test. What time did anons get the alert?
14:18 here.
I just noticed that the clock on my stove is 2 minutes ahead. When the alert happened, stove clock said 14:20. So, yes, 14:18 here as well.
