system designed to alert you of nearby threats or emergencies. Your
phone is capable of receiving three kinds of alert messages:
• Presidential Alerts

• Amber Alerts
Your phone notifies you in the following ways:

You cannot turn off the Presidential Alert, but you can turn off
the Imminent Alerts and Amber Alerts. To turn off, see “Changing
