I got no government alert today- iPhone 12, software up to date, not on airplane mode and alerts on, although was on low power mode as minimal battery. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you didn’t get the alert. Low Power Mode may have been the reason why as it can disable or limit 4G/5G which was a requirement to receive the alert. Thanks.

I got two! I have an iD Mobile and O2 eSIM installed on my iPhone. I received one alert bang on 15:00 hours and the other at 15:23. No idea which network was the slowest one as it doesn’t tell you where the alert originated from.
