Which OS do you use? On Android/LineageOS you can disable all alerts. Not sure if you can mute them, I never got one.
I tried disabling them on two phones using Android 11 and 13. I can slide the sliders to "off" but it doesn't change anything. I also tried to disable them using adb. Alas even if everything is disabled, the phone still blasts the alarm.
Apparently those are mandatory and you're not supposed to be able to disable them.
Interesting, now I do wonder what those sliders do. Can't test them unfortunately.
If I understand correctly, the alerts can be classified under the different categories listed in the options (amber, extreme threats, etc..) and those can be disabled. However there is a categry called "presidential alerts" and those cannot be disabled.
Lucky for me, my province just blankets everything under "presidential alerts" and so that's why the sliders don't do anything in my case. Like... they should, but because my province just sends everything as super mega extreme presidential alerts, the options are useless.
Well, that sure is annoying. It seems you really need to be rooted to disable them: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-mod-how-to-disable-presidential-alert-text-messages-easy-method.3841385/
