Receiving VIP alerts in iPhone Mail for addresses which are not set as VIP I am getting many Mail alerts on my iPhone 12 Pro Max for addresses which are not set as VIP. Many of them are spam emails and they are setting off the VIP alert. It is very frustrating as I just want to get an alert for important work-related emails but am getting bombarded daily with VIP alerts from addresses which are definitely not marked as VIP.

Notice of data leaks passwords on iPhone I just received 3 high alerts on iPhone re them appearing in data leaks. One alert is for a site I have never visited and which is simply a website with no login functionality. The other two sites are completely different login credentials and yet coincidentally all 3 alerts just appeared together on my phone. Is this some mistake from Apple? Doesn’t seem to make sense. I’ve never had this functionality before and suddenly get these 3 unrelated alerts. Anyone experienced similar?

I've never seen an email address under Emergency Alerts. Are you referring to Settings>Notifications>Government Alerts>Emergency Alerts?

Can you give us an example?

It's not entirely clear what you're seeing?

In settings under emergency alerts there is an email address I don’t recognize.
