How to turn off Emergency Alerts?

[Weldon]

I recently purchased the XA1 Ultra 2 days ago & have already recieved 3 Amber Alerts (one while I was asleep) & was wondering if there's a way to turn them off? I noticed in other Androids the option is found under settings/more/emergency broadcasts - but emergency broadcasts isn't an option on the XA1 Ultra. Is there anyway to disable these alerts? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Nevermind, I just found it. If you have the same question, you hit the Apps button (The 6 horizontal dots) in the center at the bottom, find & open the emergency alerts app, click the top right corner (3 vertical dots) to bring up Emergency Alerts Settings & choose what you want or don't want to receive.

After you turn off the alerts it lets you, if, like me you don't even want presidential alerts. Go into apps/ permissions/sms and disable. Have it your way. 😁
