The ‘dangerous' phones that WON'T get UK's emergency alert because they're not new enough
BRITS with older mobiles will miss the UK's upcoming test of its Emergency Alert System. The Advertisement 2 Millions of phones across the UK will be pinged with an 'emergency alert' that triggers a loud siren and vibrations for 10 seconds later this year It follows a similar test that took place in 2023, where Android and The UK Government tests the service to make sure it works properly even when there's no actual emergency. But according to official government guidance, some phones won't be able to deliver the alert. That means those Brits won't just miss out on the drill – but will also miss out on genuine emergency alerts too. Advertisement Read more on iPhone This means your old mobile is more dangerous than newer models , as you won't get the Government-issued alerts about "severe flooding, fires, and extreme weather". WHICH PHONES WON'T GET THE ALERTS? For Apple customers, alerts come to any iPhone running iOS 14.5 or later. The following devices are iOS 14.5 compatible, and will get the alert: iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone XS iPhone XS Max iPhone XR iPhone X iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 7 iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6s iPhone 6s Plus iPhone SE (1st generation) iPhone SE (2nd generation) Most read in Phones & Gadgets Tested Exclusive Anything newer than the phones on that list will also be able to get the update. Advertisement That's because they launched with iOS 15 or later. iPhone 16e review – I've secretly tested Apple's cheapest mobile and I love the new button but that's not the best bit That means these models will also get the alert: iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone SE (3rd generation) iPhone 14 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 16e If you have an iPhone older than the devices on those lists above, you won't get the alert, according to UK government guidance. These models can't get iOS 14.5 and will miss the alert : Advertisement iPhone iPhone 3G iPhone 3GS iPhone 4 iPhone 4S iPhone 5 iPhone 5C iPhone 5S iPhone 5s iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus For Android, it's more difficult to give a full list of supported phones. That's because so many different gadget makers produce Android phones. You'll need to make sure that your Android phone is running Android 11 or later. 2 You can toggle emergency alerts off in your settings Credit: Apple Advertisement To do that, just go to Settings > About Phone > Android Version. If it's not running Android 11 or later, try updating it in Settings > System > Software Update. And if you can't get Android 11 or later then you may miss out on the emergency alerts. If you have one of these cut-off phones, you should consider upgrading it immediately. Advertisement SECOND HIDDEN DANGER Of course, that's not the only reason these older mobiles are dangerous. These handsets For iPhone, we're now on iOS 18 and And it's the same story for old Android phones too. Advertisement WARNING FOR DRIVERS The UK Government issued the following warning for anyone driving during the drill... "When you get an alert, stop what you're doing and follow the instructions in the alert," the Government advice reads. "If you're driving or riding when you get an alert, do not read or respond to an emergency alert while driving or riding. "Find somewhere safe and legal to stop before reading the message. "If there's nowhere safe and legal to stop, and nobody else is in the vehicle to read the alert, you can listen to news on live radio to find out about the emergency. "It's illegal to use a hand-held device while driving or riding." Picture Credit: Unsplash Tech giants use software updates to close dangerous security loopholes. These loopholes can be used by hackers to break into your devices and accounts – so updating your phone is the easiest way to stay safe. But if you can't update your phone, then you can't receive the latest security fixes – leaving you exposed to known loopholes that criminals can exploit. So missing out on emergency alerts isn't the only reason to upgrade your old (and sadly, dangerous) mobile. Advertisement WHY ELSE MIGHT YOU MISS THE ALERT? Having a phone that is too old isn't the only reason why you might miss out on the alert. The UK Government says that you won't get the alert if your phone is turned off, connected to a 2G or 3G network, or Wi-Fi only. And you might also miss alerts if your phone is in airplane mode. You can also turn alerts off, so you'll want to check your settings to make sure that the feature is on. Advertisement On iPhone, go to Settings > Notifications > Emergency Alerts and make sure that the alert toggles are in the green "on" position. And on Android phones, just search for Emergency Alerts in your phone's search bar, and then toggle them on. They should be on by default anyway. WHAT WILL THE ALERT SOUND LIKE? Sadly there's no confirmed date for the 2025 alert test just yet. Advertisement But when it happens, the Government says: "Your mobile phone or tablet may make a loud siren-like sound, even if it's set on silent". It may also vibrate and read out the alert. "The sound and vibration will last for about 10 seconds," government advice explains. The alert will also include a phone number or link to the Government website for more info. Advertisement When the 2023 test alert was issued, it said: 'Severe Alert. This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby. 'In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe. "Visit

Assets linked to alleged Kinahan associate deemed proceeds of crime by High Court
Assets belonging to an alleged Kinahan organised crime group associate who once resided in an affluent South Dublin suburb have been deemed by the High Court to be the proceeds of crime. The Criminal Assets Bureau claim Ciaran O'Sullivan, aged 50, who previously resided on Adelaide Road in Glenageary, is known to multiple law enforcement agencies as a transnational drug trafficker for over 20 years, and has lived a lavish lifestyle despite having no legitimate source of income. The bureau cites Mr O'Sullivan's daughters' attendance at an exclusive Swiss finishing school, Surval Montreux, as an indicator of this lifestyle. Assets On Wednesday, barrister Jim Benson, for the bureau, sought orders related to assets linked to Mr O'Sullivan, which were seized during searches of properties connected to him in June 2020. Among the assets seized were various devices recovered at his Glenageary address, including iPhones, Google Pixel phones and Samsung tablets. It is the bureau's case that Mr O'Sullivan was involved in the supply of EncroChat devices, and that these devices were held by Mr O'Sullivan to this end. EncroChat is a now-defunct encrypted messaging service favoured by those involved in organised crime. Other items seized included luxury watches, a Louis Vuitton briefcase, €3,060 cash and a gold bullion coin. Mr Justice Alexander Owens said he was satisfied these assets were the proceeds of crime, granting the orders sought by the bureau under section 3 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 1996. The judge refused to make the order sought in relation to €16,350 held in a bank account held under Mr O'Sullivan's aunt's name. The court heard evidence that this account was used to pay for Mr O'Sullivan's daughter's Swiss school fees. Mr Justice Owens said the net effect of granting orders sought relating to the bank account would be to take money from the pension of an elderly woman, and that this would be 'unfair'. Crime group connections In making his orders, Mr Justice Owens noted evidence submitted on Mr O'Sullivan's connections to a Chinese money laundering gang, who have provided services to the Kinahan organised crime group. In the 2000s, Mr O'Sullivan was targeted and arrested in joint Irish and Dutch police operations focusing on the activities of the Kinahan organised crime group, the bureau allege. Mr O'Sullivan has not lived in Ireland for some time, the court heard. He has no criminal convictions in Ireland, but was convicted of two separate drug-related offences in Spain and the Netherlands.
