The AMBER Alert system is an excellent tool for finding and returning abducted children in your area. According to the US government, this system helped recover 1,029 children across all participating regions, 87 through wireless emergency alerts alone.
However, these alerts will sound on mobile devices (phones, tablets, smartwatches) at any time, even when you are sleeping. You can disable these AMBER Alerts, but this will limit your ability to help authorities recover these innocent abductees. This guide shows you how to turn off AMBER and other emergency alerts (except Presidential alerts) on your iPhone and Android devices.

What are AMBER Alerts?
While it’s easy to want to get rid of annoying alerts and unnecessary notifications, sometimes it pays to pay attention to which notifications are disabled and why they’re on. AMBER Alerts, short for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, are alerts issued by the US government to call attention to a missing person in an area, extreme weather, or other miscellaneous emergencies.
While disabling these features can help reduce notification fatigue, you can also view information about topics that would normally be the subject of an AMBER Alert on Google, Bing, or even Facebook.
