Wouldn't you run into the same issue though? Clash is online only. The tablets still get amber alerts on WiFi right?
I don't know...I don't really use my phone for anything besides communication.
If you have no idea whether or not buying a tablet would fix this situation why did you tell people to buy a tablet? Isn't that kind of weird?
because a tablet doesn't have a connection to a cellular network. I thought you were one of the people asking about sandboxing apps
Nope. The one asking how this fixes his alerts issue when mobile gaming requires an internet connection which is what started all this.
oh...well here in the US, those amber alerts are only on cellphones connected to mobile networks. A tablet that's not on your mobile plan wouldn't be connected to that alert system, especially if you use a good VPN like mullvad or proton.

This and many other sources say they do. Of course its easy to turn off, just a few clicks. Not something you need to fix with a VPN and sure as hell not something id suggest buying a whole new device to avoid.
I've only ever had those alerts on cellphones I've owned, never on any of the android tablets I've ever had.
Wacky.
And truly compelling evidence of the absolute inability for it to occur at all, ever, in this reality. ๐
This thread has definitely been weird ill say that lol
again, sorry all the usernames on here blur together for me
TIL about Amber alert. Wth, How many children are going missing over there?
You guys don't have anything like that? I mean it's not really a matter of how many... Which yeah we probably have more than average... But I figured most countries had some kind of alert system to try to help track down kidnapped children
Nah we don't,
There would be one every minute here in India
Lol fair
