Can't turn off Amber Alert because it is missing

[Randall Lind]

I just reset my Galaxy S7 and got a Amber Alert this morning. I went in to Settingsrivacy and safety but only thing under safety is send a SOS messages which is off.

Location: On - App Permissions - Private Mode:Off - Report diagnostic info:On Then under Safety Send a SOS messages:Off

So where did they move Amber Alerts? T-Mobile just sent me an update a couple weeks ago so Samsung must have moved it.

You could just ignore it if you don't have info to provide =)

The problem is, is with T-Mobile, sometimes they have a habit of sending the same alert over and over. One night while at my job, they sent about 10 alerts for the same person within about 30 minutes.

I have no idea where they've moved the setting now.

Do you have a search option in the settings? I'm not sure about the S7, but in other devices you can search for matching settings using the magnifying glass, or a similar option, top right. If you have that option, type 'alert' or 'amber' and see what you get. Also, check in your messaging app settings.

That's it. They moved the emergency alert settings to the stock messaging app.

NexusGirlX: Thank you I had to enable the app to turn off because I use Textra.
