Activate or deactivate emergency alerts on Apple iPad 10.2 (2021)

Have you recently received an emergency alert test on your Apple iPad 10.2 (2021) and want to deactivate it? Don't know if you have emergency notifications activated and want to enable them? Do you want to check the emergency alerts you have recently received? Whatever your case, or if you simply want to check if wireless emergency alerts are turned on on your iPad 10.2 (2021), here we will explain how to do it. We offer you a step by step with images so you don't get lost.

You should know that emergency alerts are a new feature that is being implemented in several countries and regions. Currently, tests are being carried out to ensure the correct functioning of the system. You may have been shocked when you saw that your iPad 10.2 (2021) made a loud sound and displayed an alert message on the screen without understanding the reason.

Logically, we recommend keeping these emergency notices active, as they are very useful in the event of a catastrophe or emergency. Furthermore, they do not represent any privacy problem. We cannot ask authorities not to send these alerts to our phone number, as they are sent to all devices in a specific area, regardless of whether they are connected to the internet or not. However, you may want to disable this feature on your iPad 10.2 (2021), especially if you already have multiple devices and would prefer to prevent them all from ringing simultaneously.

This feature is only available if your Apple iPad 10.2 (2021) has a SIM or eSIM card and is therefore connected to the mobile phone network. If your iPad 10.2 (2021) only has a Wi-Fi connection, you will not find this option in the settings.
