Manage AMBER and Emergency Alert Notifications on iPhone
At the bottom of the Notifications screen, there are several toggle switches that control alert preferences:
Always: Receive alerts when the phone is locked or unlocked.When Unlocked: Alerts don’t appear on the Lock Screen. Chose this option to minimize interruptions or maintain privacy.Never: Alerts never show up on the phone.
Lock Screen: Alerts appear when the phone is locked.Notification Center: Alerts go to the Notification Center, which you can view on the Lock Screen or by swiping down from the top of the screen.Banners: Alerts appear when the phone is unlocked.
Temporary: These notifications appear for a short time, then automatically disappear.Persistent: These notifications stay on the screen until you tap or dismiss them.
Turn on the Sounds toggle switch so that the iPhone makes noise when there’s a notification from this app. If the iPhone is muted or set to Silent Mode, you won’t hear the sounds from any notifications apart from AMBER, Emergency, and Public Safety alerts (if these are active). Turn on the Badges toggle switch to display a red number on the app icon when it has notifications. Tap Show Previews to control whether notifications display on the phone screen when it’s locked. Use this setting for things that need immediate attention, such as voicemail messages and calendar events, and disable it for personal or sensitive information. Enable Show History to view previous notifications from this app in Notification Center. This option isn’t available in iOS 12. In iOS 12, choose Notification Grouping to group notifications automatically, by app, or not at all.
AMBER Alerts: Alerts issued by law enforcement during child abductions and related emergencies.Emergency Alerts: Alerts related to severe weather or other major safety-related events.Public Safety Alerts: New in iOS 12, this option triggers when local authorities identify an imminent risk to life or property.
