whuthuon Ask HN: Why is there no way to lower amber alert volume on headphones?

Thank you for the info. I think I found the equivalent on my Android phone, seems it's the "Emergency Alerts" section of the Settings app. I've never received one though.

That's interesting, it looks like there is already a setting available to do this but the ability to control it (or even view it) is behind config setting "show_override_dnd_settings", which is only true for Japan (MCC 440): https://cs.android.com/search?q=show_override_dnd_settings&s...

What is an "amber alert"?

I've never encountered this before, and I don't see any option for it on my phone.

I'm an Android user in the UK, if that helps.
