Amber Alert not sounding off

I noticed my wife is getting amber alerts but I am not. We have the same iPhone. What could be the issue?

Hey there Ceebrooks36,


You'll need to enable these alerts to be able to receive them. Use the steps below to help enable them on your iPhone:


Turn Government Alerts on or off
By default, Government Alerts are turned on for your device.2 When you receive a government alert, you hear a special sound that's similar to an alarm. If you want to turn these alerts on or off, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
3. Under Government Alerts, turn the type of alert on or off.

Take care!
