I just received an amber alert for the first time. Tried to open it to view and it disappeared. I can't find it. How wide an area does the amber alert cover?
I am not sure about how wide the area cover is, if those notification bug you; you can turn it off by going to setting>notifications>AMBER Alerts and turn it off there.
Fairly local. Maybe what one would call a local region. Not even statewide in many cases. Check your local news on Facebook, Twitter or wherever you see it.
