In the UK, on Sunday the 7th of September at 3pm, the government will send a test emergency alert to mobile phones.
This is possible because Android and iOS allow for full access and control of devices by and governments and phone companies. It is how they remotely unlock phones.
The last time they did this test alert, I had turned my phone off and gone to sleep for a bit, yet the alert went off anyway, and then my phone was off again.
That's because a phone is never fully off whist it has battery, with the microphone, speaker and camera still remotely accessible.
So, on the 7th of September at 3pm, there will be a test to see how private your phone actually is.
