I have amber alerts disabled but still receive weather emergency notifications. Which makes sense. Perhaps it works differently in different states?
In Texas my iPhone has this alert granularity:
AMBER
Emergency
Public Safety
Test
- bombcar 4y agoThere's WATCH and WARNING and (unnamed) - some locations just send everything WATCH and above (some even send ADVISORY which is incredibly stupid). If the local government is sane, they send WARNING and (unnamed) only - (unnamed) being the YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD MAKE YOUR TIME notices. Then if you want WATCH you set your weather app to notify you on those.
- whacim 4y agoMay also differ by OS. I'm on Android and have options to disable four or five different types of alerts.
- RegnisGnaw 4y agoDepends on where you are. In Canada, our system sends everything as "National/Presidential Alerts". We don't use the different levels at all. So AMBER Alert, Weather Alert, etc are all Presidential/National Alerts.
- bombcar 4y agoDoes Canada even have a president?
- palmscenter 4y agoCanada doesn't have a president, but until it passes a law that requires phones sold in Canada to have Canada-specific features in the alert display, it will say what it says in the USA. And in USA the Presidential Alert is switching to National Alert.
