It advised people to take shelter until further notice.However, not everyone received the alert, while others only received it after the incident was over. Additionally, people received conflicting information, with authorities announcing a few hours later that drones were not headed towards Finnish territory after all.As the drone alert continued for about three hours, the application was hit by a technical glitch that affected its background services that handle danger alert notifications.The malfunction was fixed that same morning, according to the emergency response agency.Some people who had the app installed did not receive the drone warning on Friday morning. Those who did not get the message, may not have updated the app or may have not given the application permissions to continually monitor their location.The 112 Suomi app can also be used to call emergency services directly, automatically giving the caller's location to the emergency response centre. Finland's Emergency Response Centre Agency has urged people to make sure the 112 Suomi app has the latest updates.
