Government 'explains' emergency alerts sent to Android phone users

The Indian government has been testing an emergency alert system that sends messages to users' phones. The alert appears as a popup window with a loud beep and reads the message aloud. The recent message was a test and asked users to ignore it. The system aims to enhance public safety by providing timely alerts during emergencies like Covid-19, floods, and earthquakes. It is a versatile tool that can reach users on both smartphones and feature phones, providing accurate and real-time updates for informed decision-making.
