Ghost alarms

I got the iPhone 11 a couple of weeks ago. Every day, several times a day I get an audible alarm going off. There is no alarm set for this time. Initially I set the phone up via iCloud. Since this problem started I have followed all the troubleshooting I can find online for it. I have turned off and erased all alarms, rebooted the phone and create new ones. Did not fix it. I have reset all settings 2x and rebooted 2x. Did not fix either time. I have erased all content and settings on phone and restored from Cloud, rebooted. Did not fix. Turned on and then off bedtime, rebooted, did not fix. Erased all alarms and left none, alarm still comes on. Created new alarms for the ghost times, turned them on, then turned them off, rebooted the phone, erased the alarms and rebooted the phone again. still the alarms come on. For instance I get an alarm every day at 9:30. No alarm exists at this time. So I created one, then turned it off. still comes on. When I click on the button to the left of the time labeled alarm, it takes me to the alarm screen where there is no alarm. So I get an alarm at this time at 9:30, the alarm goes off and when I turn it off from the main screen, it comes on again. Its like there are hidden alarms on the phone. There is nothing on calendar, nothing on bedtime, nothing on remind, nothing on the connected MacBook. All calendar events, alerts, airdrop are all set to vibrate only. Yet I still get the audible alarm. Getting quite frustrated with these alarms. I get 3 of them every day. Please tell me what to do in order to get this resolved.

Hi Ladams19,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're hearing recurring alarms on your iPhone that haven't been set and don't exist in the Clock app on your iPhone. I also see you've done some extensive troubleshooting, but the behavior remains. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. Based on all of the great steps you've taken so far, I'd suggest reinstalling iOS 13 to your device. First, use these steps to create a backup if necessary: Back up iPhone


Next, use the steps titled "Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again" in the following resource. These steps will replace the iOS currently installed with a fresh copy; be sure to closely follow step four and choose to "Update" in order to prevent data loss: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let me know what you find.



Best Regards.
