OSINT Swarm is a news aggregator: every story links to its original publisher. It is published by Nir Wolff, who answers questions, corrections and takedown requests about the website and the iPhone and Android apps.
We usually answer within two working days.
I don't get alerts. Open the app's Settings tab, make sure Alerts is on, then check iOS Settings > Notifications > OSINT Swarm and leave Time Sensitive Notifications on.
How do I choose places? Settings > Places you follow. Alerts and the Warning screen follow that list.
Is this an official warning system? No. It is an automated reading of public reports and can be wrong. For civil-defence instructions in Israel follow the Home Front Command (Pikud HaOref).
