How do I disable that crap on an iPhone 6S?

Settings...Notifications...Scroll all the way to the bottom and there are toggle switches for Amber Alerts and Emergency alerts.

Both of mine are enabled and I did not get the alert. I was in a meeting with 3 other people and they all got the alert - I did not.

Android s5. It came in as a regular text with the presidential seal pic.

I don't get Amber alerts. Must have them cut off, I forget. But still I got this right at 2:18.

So now I'll be pre warned of eminent death !

I did not. iPhone on AT&T. Not sure why, couldn't care less.

One of my docs was on the hallway when all the phones went off and came running out of his office shouting "MY PRESIDENT NEEDS ME, MY PRESIDENT NEEDS ME!!!"

He's a funny dude.

Isn't anybody else concerned that this is a precursor to us getting leaks about the death-face asteroid actually being on collision path with Earth???

Got it but it wasn't from the President. Just an alert.

It seems like a whole lot of people out West did not get it?

I'm seeing different reasons being given as to why, but no one seems to be sure.

I have AT&T on both my personal and work iPhones and they hit right at 2:18:30 ET

That is not the case with me. Amber Alert disabled on my phone. But got the buzz and Presidential alert message.


Both AMBER Alerts and Emergency Alerts are disabled on my iPhone 8+ and I did receive the presidential alert.

Evil exists. You can not negotiate with, bribe or placate evil. You're not going to be able to have it sit down with Dr. Phil for an anger management session either.

Incorrect. This alert was *supposed* to be one you cannot turn off or opt out of.

That was a test, the first real alert will be congratulations to BK for his confirmation!
