: Later today (July 27) 2:pm nsw time the government will issue what is called aus alert which means every phone in Australia will have an alarm at the exact same time. If you are someone that uses a safety phone it is best to turn it off for 24 hours. I would also recommend avoiding traffic or any situation that could cause danger to the governments poorly planned aus alert. I hope this does not cause to much chaos.
what phone do you have?
I’ve seen some phones with this type of broadcast alert disabled by default, you need to dig through some menus to enable it, but even phones from 10 years ago should support it.
It’s definitely an old operating system issue - not on the latest.
