I’ve just heard the Amber/Silver alert signal on my iPhone 6S. I went to read the message, but I can’t find it. It’s not in Messages. Is there another place I should look?

Thanks, @Manduck!

FWIW, it came across on the TV shortly after I posted. (15-year-old girl, missing and possibly abducted by a 36-year-old armed male felon down in Yakima.)
