The alert went off while in my vehicle. It was very loud. You're tempted to reach over to turn it off. I worry about young people who pay very close attention to their phones. It can cause them to have an accident. I don't mind such alerts on my TV, but not on my phone. I've commented on other threads, but I believe this should have its own thread.
