A woman has claimed that she had to disable 'emergency alerts' on her phone after receiving multiple warning messages since the official test of the new government notification system took place on Sunday (April 23).
Kate Higgins told Bristol Live she received the first alarm on her iPhone as expected, albeit three minutes early. She said: "Soon after my phone ran out of charge, I put it on charge and then when it turned back on, the alarm went off again even though it had the first time, and I cleared it.
"So I cleared it and turned my phone on and off four more times, and I kept getting a new emergency alert each time my phone came back on, even though I closed and cleared the alert."
