Amber Alerts are on by default, here's how to turn them back off!Your iPhone makes sure you never miss AMBER and other kinds of emergency government alerts.
In the United States, AMBER — America's Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response — and other kinds of emergency government alerts are relayed to your iPhone using the same Notification Center system as your other iPhone alerts, like iMessage and Calendar.
