How to TURN OFF AMBER ALERTS! (Emergency/Government) on Iphone
ChanneltbonepearsonDescription from the creator
This is how to turn off Government Alerts (Amber Alerts, Emergency Alerts, Public Safety Alerts) on an iphone.
In the United States, AMBER — America's Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response — and other kinds of emergency government alerts are relayed to your iPhone using the same Notification Center system as your other iPhone alerts, like iMessage and Calendar.
Depending on the nature of the alert, which can include child abductions and impending natural disasters, it's a great feature that can prevent injury and save lives. Many lives. So, by their nature, these alerts don't respect Do Not Disturb settings. They NEED to get through.
That can be shocking, however, especially if they happen when you're sleeping, driving, or otherwise not expecting a loud noise to come from your iPhone. That's why, ultimately, AMBER and other alerts work at your discretion.
Learn how to turn on emergency, government, and public safety alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
You can receive emergency, government, and public safety alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch. In the event of an emergency, here's what you might see:
Alerts issued by your country or region's government
Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
Alerts for extreme weather conditions
AMBER alerts (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response)*
Public Safety Alerts*
Turn Government Alerts on or off
By default, Government Alerts are turned on for your device.* When you receive a government alert, you hear a special sound that's similar to an alarm. If you want to turn these alerts on or off, follow these steps:
Go to Settings Notifications.
Scroll to the very bottom of the screen.
Under Government Alerts, turn the type of alert on or off.*
*Government Alerts are supported when using a SIM card from a supported carrier. Your Apple Watch can receive these alerts if your iPhone can receive them and is nearby, or your Apple Watch is on a Wi-Fi network. With a cellular plan from a supported carrier, your Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + cellular) can receive these alerts without your iPhone nearby. For more information, contact your carrier.
