Bump. Very worrying about domestic abuse victims.

On the bright side, a lot of adulterers will get caught red-handed at home.

I believe that my elderly aunt, with dementia, has her late DH's phone somewhere in the house. It won't have any charge in it though. Can I reasonably assume that a phone that is switched off and out of charge won't be affected by this?

It would definitely upset her if it went off, but I doubt she'd even know where it is and she certainly wouldn't manage to change the settings by herself. Presumably, if the phone is dead, it's dead?

I was wondering this too, if battery is flat and/or phone is switched completely off it won't sound?

Another bump

redspottedmug · 22/04/2023 22:34

Be ready for tomorrow - switch off your phone if you don't want the alert to sound.

Putting it on silent will NOT stop the alert.

MyCatIsAFuckwit · 22/04/2023 23:37

Bump, let's keep this up top for those unaware or may forget. ❤

On a lot of Samsung phones it CANT be turned off and is already toggled to grey Another poster has a Samsung S8 like this. I have a Samsung Galaxy A20e and mine is the same. Toggled to grey and cant be turned off Greyed out.

Its unacceptable. We should have the choice.

JenniferBooth · 22/04/2023 23:46

I know this is stupid but im also worried it will fuck up my phone. The Governments behaviour particularly over the last three years havent filled me with confidence

I read it will only sound on Android 11 or higher. Maybe it won't sound if the phone is older?

Bumping.

Stay safe everyone.

If you can't turn it off any that's a risk, then plan to switch your phone off from 2.55 to 3.05 to be sure.

Show quote history

How silly am I? Just realised you need to post a reply and it shows up at the top / hence "bump".

redspottedmug · 23/04/2023 14:56

Last minute bump

Sux2buthen · 23/04/2023 14:59

Right on time according to my phone. Very short wasn't it, and I didn't have to click on anything.
