> When your iPhone is connected to a carrier in the United States—using a U.S. SIM or while roaming in the U.S.—you can enable Test Emergency Alerts. By default, this is turned off.
> Turn Government Alerts on or off
Seems like test alerts are turned off by default and real alerts can be turned off for iOS?
- jaywalk 3y agoAlthough this is a test, it is not being sent as a test. It is being sent as a Presidential Alert, which cannot be disabled on any phone running stock firmware. It's literally illegal to sell a phone that allows Presidential Alerts to be disabled.
- lxgr 3y agoThank you for this – I've been wondering how this would work with inbound roaming phones! I think visibility of this setting used to be tied to the phone's configured region, but the new behavior makes more sense for inbound roaming users.
