Wow the irony! I tried to give you a few more updoots, but I'm not allowed.

As did mine. It seems as if Samsung locks this within their variation of the Android OS. These settings vary wildly from manufacturer to carrier.

Instructions to see settings on Samsung S8+ on T-Mobile:

Open messages app--> Click three dots top right--> Click settings--> Click emergency alert settings--> Emergency alerts.

On this phone Presidential alerts cannot be disabled. Or so it says. This option was not searchable from the settings search bar. The Samsung SOS feature is what pops up for me.

You have to use the Samsung messaging app to find these settings. The default Android one did not have them. Search the app drawer for messages to find both.

I see it now as well. It took a little while for it to show. When you hover over the handshake icon it needs to say something other than "recently joined" as that is misleading.

Well....I stand corrected. Lol. Could have swore my last comment showed the icon.

I have been registered on here for over a year and I believe I still show handshake icon. Seems to be tied to comments made and not time since creation. I just don't comment on much but still spend a majority of my time here reading and forwarding posts to redpill family and friends.

I don't get what is so funny.

Thanks for the info! I have used Pluto in the past but don't remember these awesome networks being on there. Then again I wasn't in the same state of mind at that time either.

That was the moment I quit putting watching FOX.
