Turn off weather notifications without turning off other Safety notifications
Hi all!I have an Android device, and I've started getting weather alerts from Ring. I already get weather alerts from other apps, which now means I get double notifications for everything that mother nature decides to throw at us.Tried looking for a way to turn off just Weather notifications, but it looks like it's classified under the topic of "Safety", and I can only turn off the entire topic. Is this correct? If so, how do we request the feature to toggle weather on and off separately?Thanks!

These alerts are more annoying and helpful. I get weather from my weather apps. Ring should stay in their own lane and focus on security. I didn’t hire you to watch the Weather.

Late to the discussion, but searched for a way to turn off weather alerts. Living in the climate I do, this is non-stop. So since we can't turn them off, I started Reporting Post. Flagging them as "Unhelpful, Repetitive, or Inaccurate", then "unhelpful" which states: "Does not have enough information to be used for solving a crime or improving safety". Weather alerts have no use on a crime / safety app, and I feel the "unhelpful" flag will be enough for Devs to disable them, especially if others start doing the same.

I cannot stress enough: THIS FEATURE NEEDS TO BE DISABLED.As someone who loathes most all spammy notifications…. I keep Ring enabled obviously, with priority, so that I know anytime I do receive a notification… that it’s SOMETHING IMPORTANT. - And not something stupid like Facebook or the like. Now, i’m also forced to be notified for something insignificant like a Flash Flood Watch or something else.. less important. The fact that you can’t disable these ‘weather’ notifications is nothing short of ridiculous.

This is infuriating enough that I just turned off ALL Ring notifications. I don't need Ring to tell me there is a heat advisory. If Ring wants to do dumb stuff like this, I'm happy to look for an alternative.

These alerts are very unhelpful and extremely spammy. I went from rarely getting safety alerts, and only getting them when they are somewhat useful, to getting them multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. Ring is an app I use for home security and to get notifications related to neighborhood security, not snow, high-wind, or red flag warnings. Today I got a fire alert, red-flag warning for my area, and another red-flag warning for an adjacent county.
