Do they no longer give a heads up for these tests?

My phone has received twice now in two weeks very annoying during a Zoom meeting.

@canucks4life Can you pls share a screenshot of what you received? No one here got an emergency alert in a few weeks. Was it a local government testing? An amber alert testing?


Unfortunately I was too busy trying to get rid of the deafening sound to notice the type of test.

Unless Galaxy S21+ keeps a log somewhere?


Looks like you can disable test alerts in settings while give it a try.

Unless you are referring to another type of alert, such as Amber Alert, you can visit this link to take a look at the test schedule. https://www.alertready.ca/#alerts


Based on the link the last test was in May and the next test is in November. 

 

No tests have been completed on October.

That only works in the US. Alerts in Canada are all sent out at the maximum priority level, what in the US would be classified as 'Presidential Alerts'. These are unblockable.
