My iOS settings and experience differ from this rather greatly - can you cite any such laws or regulations?
I have clear settings on my up to date ios device in the US, on a large American carrier that allow me to a)ignore emergency alerts, b) get them but silently if my phone is in silent mode, or c) allow them through at full blast.
- izacus 4y agoThere are types of broadcasts even in US (IIRC Presidental broadcasts, but don't quote me on that) that will ignore your settings. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202743 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202743 - note the little "3" note where it says that some broadcasts in some regions can't be disabled?
