About emergency and government alerts on iPhone and Apple Watch

Learn how to turn on emergency, government, and public safety alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch.

You can receive emergency, government, and public safety alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch. In the event of an emergency, here’s what you might see:

• Alerts issued by your country or region’s government
• Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
• Alerts for extreme weather conditions
• AMBER alerts (America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response)*
• Public Safety Alerts*

*AMBER alerts and Public Safety Alerts aren’t available in all countries or regions.

Turn Government Alerts on or off

By default, Government Alerts are turned on for your device. * 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 very bottom of the screen.
3. Under Government Alerts, turn the type of alert on or off. *

*Government Alerts are supported when using a SIM card from a supported carrier. Your Apple Watch can receive these alerts if your iPhone can receive them and is nearby, or your Apple Watch is on a Wi-Fi network. With a cellular plan from a supported carrier, your Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + cellular) can receive these alerts without your iPhone nearby. For more information, contact your carrier.

*In some countries, you may not be able to disable Government Alerts.

Choose to receive Test Emergency Alerts in the United States

When your iPhone is connected to a carrier in the United States — using a U.S. SIM or while roaming in the U.S. — you can enable Test Emergency Alerts. By default, this is turned off. When you receive this type of alert, you’ll hear a sound that’s similar to an alarm, and the alert will mention that it’s a test. To turn these alerts on or off, follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app and tap Keypad.
   • To turn it on: Enter *5005*25371# and tap . You’ll get an alert that says «Test alerts enabled.»
   • To turn it off: Enter *5005*25370# and tap . You’ll get an alert that says «Test alerts disabled.»

Ratings and Reviews

Love it, but.

I have been waiting for an App like this one since the first Apple Watch. I was super excited when I found it and immediately got the paid version. Only problem (a big one for me) is that every time I restart my iPhone or my watch, the app does not start automatically and I don’t always remember to manually turn it on. So I’m still forgetting my iPhone at home or in the car. Disappointing but I’m sure developers will do something about that.
Update: one year later last week I downloaded this app again and it finally works well, the down fall is that it’s draining my battery! 🙄

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback. We are aware of this limitation and will continue to try to find a solution that will allow Phone Buddy to re-start without user input after a system shutdown. At this time we don’t have technical path forward to achieve this result but we are always trying new things and with each new OS updates Apple provides new functionality that may enable this use case sometime down the line. Thanks again for the feedback and we’d love to get this working sometime soon.

Was good, now it’s AWFUL!

I’ve had this app for several version of the iPhone and Apple Watch and the first iterations of this app worked fine, without false alarms but after recently updating this app and being pleasantly surprised by all the great additions to the functionality of this app I was impressed. THAT WAS SHORT LIVED. This app is horrendous with false alarms, no matter how much I tinker with the distance and time setting it’s constantly going off. With me working in the medical field with patient care, it’s very rude and startling to patients and family members having loud and obnoxious fire alarm sounding alerts randomly blaring out of your phone and watch, even when both your phone and watch are on your person. I’ve even went as far as completely shutting down the application when I need it the most but the application is still making my phone alarm randomly. I’m super disappointed in this application now and I feel I have no choice but to remove it completely from my phone.

Developer Response ,

Hello RawDawgRagland, I’m very sorry to learn about your experience using Phone Buddy. There are settings I’d recommend that may mediate some of the issues, for example, you can disable the «Loud Alarm» setting so Phone Buddy uses default notification sounds or vibration when posting alerts. We have also updated a few advanced settings that may help reduce false alerts due to temporary interruptions, such as the Sure Alert setting on the Phone Lost Alert custom settings page on Apple Watch. By the way, Bluetooth shares a spectrum with many wireless devices and as such environmental interference makes 100% accuracy difficult. If you’ve introduced a new wireless device in home or car and that correlates with the decreasing quality of service please let me know. We are happy to chat further at support@fre-studios.com.

Too often receive lost phone alert with phone next to watch

I did all I could with configuration- set distance far and increased time. I also set to not alert on home WiFi. No joy. I still get random alerts for no apparent reason. I guess I need to be a big boy and remember my phone because this app gives too many false alerts to be useful. 🙁

The developer suggested that I may be having problems in my environment with distance and simply use lost phone alerts instead. I had the issue with the phone and watch being within inches of each other. Unless my body generates a field that could through their process off, I don’t see what environment is interfering; it’s not like there are walls to go through or metal objects in the way. This issue didn’t just happen at home. BTW — iPhone 12 Pro and Watch Series 6, so this isn’t an issue with older hardware. Downgraded the review to 1; reminds me a bit of the iPhone — you’re not holding it right but worse.
