NDTV
This was much awaited on iOS, especially after Android users shared photos of the alert on their phones twice - in August and earlier this month.
Days after Android users received an emergency test alert from the government, those who use Apple's iPhones also claimed that they have started receiving the same message. It appears as a flash on your lockscreen and contains a generic test to inform the users that this is a test message. Some of them have posted screenshots of their lockscreen on X (formerly Twitter) and the photos have started gaining traction on the internet. However, other iPhone users have said they haven't received any such alert message. #India testing Emergency Alerts 🚨 on various mobile carriers #iOS#iphone#Applepic.twitter.com/p5vD0hUruj
The message contains the following text: "Emergency Alert This is a SAMPLE TESTING MESSAGE sent using Cell Broadcast by Deptt of Telecom, Govt of India to TEST Emergency Alert System of NDMA. No action is required at your end. 29/09/2023 12:59 PM." According to the screenshots, the message was sent by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) at 12:59 pm today. The government is working on these alerts in order to be better prepared for disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis and flash floods.
Some users posted about the same on X. "A very great initiative by @ndmaindia and @DoT_India @TRAI for utilising mobile features during emergency. Today received test alert via cell broadcast on my iPhone and Apple Watch. Good job #emergencyalert," said a user.
