Interesting that you are posting that info about the alert system.
Some time ago, I blocked the Amber Alert because it was going off so much. I live on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in a semi-rural area, but I am close enough, as the crow flies, to Baltimore and DC that the alarm was going off quite frequently.
Last night, I got an Amber Alert on my cell phone. Very, very loud. Startled the bejaysus out of me. A display window popped up. In addition to the actual alert message, there was a “settings” option, which allowed me to once again disable the Amber Alert system.
However, there were 3 other alert categories listed. At the top was something like “Presidential Alert/Message”, The other 2 were something like “Extreme Weather” and “Extreme Danger”. (Not sure if I have the exact title of any of these 3.) Anyway, the notation for the presidential alert informed my that it could not be disabled.
Granted, I am not at all technically informed and not really up on alert systems, but I do not remember ever seeing anything about any sort presidential warning system before. Ah, but I do remember that Q mentioned many, many months ago something about enabling the Emergency Broadcast System.
Maybe someone who is more tech savvy than this old granny could enlighten me....
Sounds to me like you are already enlightened in this respect.
" the notation for the presidential alert informed my that it could not be disabled."
I have those alerts on my Note 7 and disabled all except the Presidential Alert, which, as you can see, is not able to be disabled. I got the phone during the sick, mom jean wearing, can’t throw a baseball, POS, Obamination’s regime and I was ticked off the whole time thinking he had access to my phone. Now, I am quite happy to hear from my POTUS DJT if he wishes, but I believe all 3 alerts come in “enabled” mode on new phones. My understanding is that the alerts first appeared under the sick, mom jean wearing, can’t throw a baseball, POS, Obamination’s regime so he could alert us to the fact that we didn’t build that.
