We are volunteers on this user to user only forum. We don't owe you ANY explanations at all. We have tried to tell you your cellular provider provides the alerts. You can keep wasting your time trying to lay the blame on Apple, but that's a complete waste of your and quite frankly now, our time.

Contact your cellular provider or stop asking why you don't have these alerts anymore. We can't help you.

It is not there anymore. Apple removed it!

I’m running 14.3 on my iPhone 11 Pro. When I look in notifications and go to the bottom I see the government alerts. You may wanna try and reset all settings first. This will replace the background picture, have to set up Apple Pay and WiFi and Bluetooth. But data will stay there. If that doesn’t work, back up the phone and restore to factory settings using a computer. Set it up as new first. If they are there then put the back up back on the phone. If it’s missing after the back up then it’s a corrupted file in that back up.

Apple didn't remove it. It's not something Apple would selectively remove. It's certainly still on my iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max. But it's possible something happened in the update on your phone.

When you do an iOS update, it is advisable to Force Restart your phone immediately after downloading the update. Did you do that? If not and your signature is correct and you have an iPhone 11 do the following:

• Press and quickly release the volume up button
• Then press and quickly release the volume down button
• Then press and KEEP HOLDING the side power button (keep holding past the swipe to power off) until you see the Apple Logo, then let go

See if the emergency alert options appear at the bottom of Settings > Notifications

Note even if they wanted to remove them, Wireless Emergency Alerts are a carrier feature.

No, you have heard this on some sketchy site. But you got me curious so I did a check at my favorite coffee shop. 23 different iPhones, 2 running 14.2, 1 running 13.7, 20 with 14.3 On all of them they had the notifications just like the screen shot in William's screen shot.

I just checked my iPad which I had updated earlier this week to 14.3. Earlier this week the emergency alerts were there. Last night there was an auto update and now I do not have the emergency alert section at all.

I don’t understand it. I had updated my phone earlier this week and there was no update last night and I still have the emergency alerts.

Indeed:

• Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support
• About emergency and government alerts on iPhone and Apple Watch - Apple Support

iPhone and Apple Watch, not iPad.

If the toggles were there on iPad, it was a bug and the issue has been fixed.

I did not do the update on my iPad and do not have the alert system available. Is there any way it can be added?

No. Because iPad is NOT a cell phone and Emergency alerts have NEVER been available on iPad.

So if Apple didn’t take it off why is it gone? There is posts on mewe and telegram saying it was being removed.

Um... yeah... those are the same people who say that Trump is fighting a deep state conspiracy of devil worshiping cannibalistic pedophiles and actually won the election...

This was debunked pretty much as soon as it hit the inter webs.

As we keep telling you, Apple doesn't deliver Amber Alerts. Your cellular provider does. What did your cellular provider say when you asked them why you don't have them on your phone? You keep looking to Apple and you are looking at the wrong entity.

Yet it happened to my phone within 48hrs. So what was debunked? The options to turn it on or off was on my phone Friday. Yet today it’s missing. Are you able to explain what did that? Did someone hack my phone? Hmmm? If you can explain how someone could remove those options from my phone without being able to touch my phone?

There are probably also posts on MeWe and Telegram that say the planet is actually controlled by lizard overlords from outer space. That doesn't mean it's true.

Start by contact your carrier.

I'm not going to explain anything to you. Chances are you're nothing but a troll sent here to propagate the lie that it was being removed to begin with.

Do some basic troubleshooting on your own. Reboot your phone.

Reset the network settings.

Restore ios

If none of those work, and you still actually have an issue, make an appointment at the Genius Bar... of course, this is all assuming you actually contacted your cellular carrier first and made sure it's nota problem on their end.
