Hello James, How annoying it would be to get Amber alerts from a totally different part of the world! Check settings / notifications, go to the very bottom of the list. In the US, we have 2 entries under government alerts. One is Amber alert which you can toggle on / off. The other is emergency alerts which is everything else. Since you are getting alerts from the US, maybe these options will show up for you. Hopefully you don't get weather alerts from the US too!

Hello, My phone, being the idiot it is, likes to give me amber alerts. From...Austin Texas, I know not why. Any way of turning these off? If it helps, I live in Scotland.
