Hello all,

I have a Samsung Galaxy A14 5G phone. At night, I always put my phone on silent (not Do Not Disturb). Whenever I get an imminent weather alert (tornado warning, flood warning), blue alert, etc. I do not realize it until the morning when I see the notification. In other words, it does not make the siren noise. I thought these Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) were supposed to override the silent mode? It definitely makes the noise if the phone is not on silent mode. I appreciate any help in advance.

To override, just add "Wireless Emergency Alerts" to Apps Notifications Allowed on the Do Not Disturb.

āƒ   Settings  ā‰»
āƒ   Notifications  ā‰»
āƒ   Do Not Disturb   ā‰»
āƒ   Click App Notifications   ā‰»
āƒ   Click Add Apps (+)   ā‰»
āƒ   Check:
     "Wireless Emergency Alerts"   ā‰»    
āƒ   Press Done.

@Fietsen1 This is expected behavior. If you want to get those alerts, use DND (Do not disturb). Do not use Silent mode.
