Does accidentally touching the 'alert' button [View all]

on my phone while scrolling actually send it or do I have to do something else to make it official? It's so easy to do I've accidentally touched it a few times while scrolling through different threads as I am left-handed. I have never intentionally alerted on a thread or post.
