It's been pointed out that this actually has serious implications for eg people living with an abusive partner who have a second phone that they need to keep hidden.

Here's instructions on how to disable it courtesy of Refuge.

@66ALW99 Thanks, I didn't know! I had to check the date of the article to make sure that it wasn't an April 1st prank. Now have set several notifications to remind me not to have my mobile in my hand at 3pm that day. What next? A reissue of those government leaflets from the 8Os, telling us huddle under a table and kiss out arses goodbye in the event of a nuclear strike?

@MoreMeesThanMee Sorry, only just seen your reply..

I added extra info on Twitter about how to disable it but forgot to do the same here. Added now, thanks for the reminder! 😊

@66ALW99 I’ve already disabled them. I’m not even remotely interested. If the bomb is going to drop I want to be the last to know.
