Bystander effect only applies if everyone sees that many other people could be helping, AFAIK. If you don't know how many people around got the alert, I think it's similar to being the only person who did?

I don't think that's clear at all. Some of the reasons the bystander effect "works" may even be amplified: You don't see if others respond, so you may question whether or not it's a genuine emergency or a false alert, for example.
