oswaldkovsky User ID: 28574782 United States 04/02/2013 10:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember a little while ago another GLPer saying that they had been woken up at 3 am by a "government alert' or something going off on her phone. Said there was also an option for 'presidential alerts'. WTF? 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34151172 United States 04/02/2013 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I repeat there was nothing in the update notes about this Quoting: Astral Goat Apple is part of the NWO Been around since late 2012 but rolling out by region and phone company. verizon has it. Under Notifications down at the bottom: Government Alerts with sub categories of Amber Alerts and NWS Alerts. They can send weather alerts to everyone off the towers that are affected. The "National emergency" alerts are the ones you can't turn off. |

I don't have anything at the bottom of my notifications page that says anything about government alerts...Do you people all have the latest iphone? mine is like a 4 something, maybe that's the issue here. 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |
Watching the world User ID: 10137056 United States 04/02/2013 11:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's all the way at the bottom of the notifications list. Mine says amber alerts and emergency alerts. Not every iPhone requires the update at the same time. Every one in my house has iPhones some don't require the update until 3-4 weeks after mine. Some of our IPhones are older than others. Weird Ignorance is bliss until reality bites you in the ass. I take care of the dead...always. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37308845 just sayin, go to notifications, see gov't alerts. hello? how to do you claim it is hidden, when its clearly not hidden? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37308845 just sayin, go to notifications, see gov't alerts. hello? I belief he is referring to te terms and conditions they release upon each update. There was nothing about these features being added. Once you update you can't un-update so to speak. Therefore it was hidden and forced upon customers |

oswaldkovsky User ID: 28574782 United States 04/02/2013 11:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have the most recent update and this is BS. Perhaps you have an app called government updates Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27268136 FYI I have an iPhone 4 me too, another poster said they have family members with older phones that get the updates later than they do, I think maybe that's the issue here because I also don't have the government alert settings on mine, and my phone says I have the most recent update. 1963 Moving Target Champion I am only a patsy... |
