#UK Need to keep a hidden phone silent from Government Alert to protect yourself?
While it is recommended that the alerts should be kept on if at all possible, those with a secret device can opt out via their phone’s settings.
On iOS devices, enter the ‘notifications’ tab & switch off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’.
Those with an android device should search for ‘emergency alert’ before using the toggle to switch it off.
