Has anyone else turned off the emergency alerts on their phone?
The first time I got an amber alert I was sitting in my living room and it was for something that happened 40 miles away, so I turned off all of the emergency alerts. I went for Christmas to visit my parents and an emergency alert went off and they're like we can't stop it, they go off all the time, and so I took their phones and turned off the emergency alerts.
Am I out of the norm or have other people experienced this, have also turned off the alerts?
- IIsi50MHz 4y agoMy devices let me separately disable Amber alerts without disabling all alerts. For a few years, I kept them all on, but after umpteen alerts that I had miniscule chance of helping with[1], I disabled Amber alerts.
