How do I delete Red Alerts Emergency from emails that loaded itself from an app I installed that has nothing but adds

So I read everything....but what app did I get that caused this so I know? I didnt know what all this is except what I read here. I understand I must have authorized, but didn’t know and wouldn’t mean anything to me if asked for profile.

sorry. 😕 I am NEVER going to be a techie! Lol!

Thank you. I was so glad to find this information. I had downloaded an app that gives pollen information. Did not authorize another thing. Suddenly I had a red alert mailbox. No specific app, just the mailbox. It's gone now, thanks to you.

I added mine on purpose but I fee like I was deceived in my opinion. It was right after I got a new phone and it asked if I wanted to add “emergency alerts”. I clicked yes thinking it was the Amber Alerts and such. Found out later it was not.

Thanks Lawrence. You were a big help.

Go to Settings/General/Profiles and delete the profile for it. Same thing happened to me.

Which is exactly what the "Solved" response posted a year ago said. Almost word for word.

Yes - I select Profile and then tap RedAlerts Emergency profile - tap Delete Profile and then it brings up the screen 'Enter Passcode'. I'm worried doing so may compromise my phone so I have not gone any further. Any thoughts on how to get around this or delete it a different way?

Go to Settings/General/Profiles. Delete all of the profiles that appear.

Apps NEVER install themselves. Never. If there is an app on your phone, someone installed it.

Is it harmful to your phone after you have deleted Red Alerts Emergency?

Please see photo.

• Tap Settings
• Tap General
• Scroll to the bottom
• Just below VPN and above Regulatory there will be either Profile or Device Management
• Tap on it, tap on the profile, and tap Delete

Thank you.

I want to thank you for teaching me how to delete this "Redalerts thing" from my i phone. I am not very tech savvy and this was very, very helpful.

Thanks Lawrence for the wrist slap. I should know better. Your solution worked fine.

Lawrence - I deleted the profile and now my mailboxes only shows the VIP box - not all my email. Did something else get deleted when I removed the RedAlert profile?

never mind - i figured it out - it had unchecked my regular inbox!
