Domestic abuse victims could be at risk if the upcoming emergency alert drill sends an alert to any hidden devices they have, charities say.
-
There are concerns that the sound could reveal hidden phones belonging to domestic abuse victims and groups are advising them how to opt out of the alert.
To opt out, iPhone users should go to settings, search for “Emergency Alerts”, and turn off Severe & Emergency Alerts.
Android users can do the same by searching “Emergency Alerts” in settings and switching off Severe & Emergency Alerts.
Meanwhile, theatre-goers will be advised to turn their phones off and drivers are urged not to be distracted if they are behind the wheel when the alert takes place.
