Critical Alerts Setting

No this is an alert that would be in notifications under the particular app. I have restarted and even did the forced restart and no change. Thank you for the ideas though.

You would need to contact the app developer for help with that. But, first, delete the app and re-install it. That will 1)make sure you have the latest version and 2) it often fixes things.

Hello JLeilaniT!

Are you referring to the GOVERNMENT ALERTS found at the bottom of: Settings > Notifications?

If so, then I also have the same problem. This section of alerts is sometimes there, sometimes it isn’t. And I don’t know why this might be. Please try to Restart your iPhone - Apple Support, and see if that won’t bring them back.

If that is to no avail, try a Forced Restart.

Still nothing? Then please tell Apple about this here, and Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Critical alerts are a feature that seems to have flown well under the radar. Before the advent of Focus, they were very useful for overriding DND for just that single app. I expect they are less necessary now that you can turn on focus but still allow a particular app to send alerts.

Hello JLeilaniT;

What was the fix for this issue?

After resetting my setting to fix another issue, I now have the same problem. My Dexcom G6 is not showing a "Critical Alert" button. I can see number but I want to sleep.

Thanks Idris! 😊

All the apps I have that use critical alerts have the switch within the app.

Did you re-install the G6 app?
