Imagine my surprise and embarrassment while eating in a busy posh restaurant my S7 Edge which I had the sound off and on vibrate... suddenly lights up, vibrates and sounds a nerve-rattling alarm and stays on, with an alert 10 times louder than any other alert on the phone! I found out It’s all to announce an Amber Alert, and it can be extremely unsettling.
That is a bunch of BULL taking over my phone like that. I searched online to find out how to get rid of that, then I went into "Settings/Privacy and emergency" to change it. It shouldn't come pre-loaded like that. My wife's Apple iPhone didn't do that... it is an Option as it should be.
Before some of you flame me as being insensitive and all that, remember every flashing billboard every few miles over the freeways is showing the same message and all the news on TV is showing it... it does NOT need to be on my phone. In fact if that had gone off suddenly while driving on a busy freeway, it could cause an accident... it is that loud!
