iOS 13 eliminated “snooze” feature on alarm?

Why on earth would they do that? People depend on that. How can I get it back?

iPhone 7 Plus

In fact, there was a change after restarting my phone. Most recent test alarm that went off, raised a banner at top of screen that said “Alarm.” No sound, or vibration, and no display of the Clock/Bedtime app.

Possible that phone can’t support two activated alarm sound configurations? I downloaded a second alarm app later this am, which plays one of my purchased songs (and has a configurable snooze feature!) and after I did this and tested it, that’s when the original Clock/Bedtime app stopped making sounds.

I did try that. No snooze. Maybe it has something to do with the model of my phone (7s Plus)

I have an iPhone 7+. Snooze still works just fine. And I keep using it, despite all of my resolutions not to....

That shouldn't make a difference. But, it's worth trying deleting the app and testing.

So you have a 7+ phone running iOS 13.1, and you still have a functional Snooze feature on your Clock app? If so, I’m mystified. Mine disappeared immediately after the 13.1 installation. I use it every day, so I noticed.

Not yet but if I can silence that without removing app altogether I will. (I just don’t want to be charged again to add it back in later.)

You won't be charged to add it back. Once you've paid for an app, you can delete and reinstall it as much as you want (as long as it remains in the app store). Deleting an app and reinstalling it is a standard troubleshooting step.

Snooze has not been eliminated; I just set a test alarm and I was able to snooze it. Have you restarted your phone since the update? Have you updated to 13.1?
