The German cell broadcast alert system which got tested today only seems to work on modern phones. Android 5.0.1 (registered to a LTE network) is too old as well as the two phones to the right (registered to GSM).
The user experience of that text desert is very much improveable. "Notification by the President" however looks quite funny.

β οΈ Don't Panic: Nationwide Alert Day on Thu Sept. 14 β οΈ
(authoritative German information below π§΅ )
The German authorities (Bundesamt fΓΌr BevΓΆlkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe) failed to provide international information (shame on them!) so I have no choice but share some local news article that summarizes what's going on in Germany this Thursday. In short: Don't panic! π

Germany will conduct a comprehensive test of emergency alert systems throughout the country on 'Nationwide Alert Day,' Sept. 14, 2023. A message will be sent out at 11 a.m. across all available means, including cell phones (via mobile networks), radio and television channels, digital display boards, government websites/social media, and sirens/loudspeaker trucks/sirens.Read More
As Anne says here: if you or someone you know has a hidden phone, particularly people in domestic violence situations, and youβre in the UK - *make sure to turn off the new government warning alerts* which will be tested soon. They will give away the phones location.
