Alerts

An alert is a screen that communicates error, status, or other information to users. An alert screen, like other screens, can have titles, tickers, and commands. It can also have an image, a gauge, and text the user cannot edit. Most commonly, alerts are expected to have titles, images, and text. Screenshot shows an informational alert with these characteristics.
