Why is the alarm tied to the volume? The point of the recurring alarm is so you don’t have to check it every night. If I lower my phone’s volume, it changes the alarm volume. The alarm should have its own setting. I think it did with the X, I never had a problem until the 11. If you know how to fix this please let me know or Apple please send a fix for this issue.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
Under Settings select Sound & Haptics (or Sound for older iPhones) and uncheck "Change with Volume buttons" and set alarm volume to desired level. This way the volume buttons won't change the alarm volume. Silence mode also doesn't change alarm volume. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/adjust-the-volume-iphb71f9b54d/ios

Thanks hopefully they’ll read my post and change it back to the iPhone X way. It doesn’t make sense to have to check a recurring alarm every night. I might as well have to set it. It defeats the purpose.

1) They won't read your post here. Use the feedback link provided. 2) It's always been this way.
I think it is meant to be like that. I’ve never had the option to set the alarm’s volume separately. However, you can leave feedback for the Clock app here: www.apple.com/feedback.
