I'm experiencing the opposite; my wife and I have the same iPhone model (13), with the OS up to date. When we bought the phones, 18 months ago, I customized them to have identical settings; while doing that, I also disabled the Amber Alerts. Still, a few weeks ago, our phones started to emit an unheard (til then) sound in the middle of the night: it was an Amber Alert. WTH? did any of the OS updates enable the AA? I looked at the phones and - hey, where did that setting go? the alerts are no longer visible in Notifications. What's weird, is the fact that you can type "Govern" (for Government Alerts) in the Search field, and Notifications comes up - but, when you go into Notifications, there's nothing there.
I googled the issue and it's affecting quite a lot of people. It's unclear whether the culprit is the provider or a long-standing bug in iOS (the first mention I found is a few years old). Some people suggested that you take out the SIM and the options would reappear. Didn't work in my case.
