Ghost Alarm on iPhone 11 Pro

There is obviously some app on your phone that is setting off a alarm at 7am. There is really no fast way of figuring it out. Go to Settings>Notifications and check everything that is allowing audible notifications. Pay special attention to any alarm, clock, calendar or reminder apps.

What other "troubleshooting" must I do? I have already done everything besides resetting my phone.

Did you try deleting and re-adding apps as I suggested? If that doesn't work, yes, the next step would be restoring your phone from a back up.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Who is that "vast" majority you are mentioned that this so called solution has worked for?

I never said that it worked for a "vast" majority. What I really said:

It has solved the issue for some people. I'm sorry to hear you're not one of them.

It is apparent that you do not actually want help but rather want to complain. You should do so where it is likely to do them most good:

Product Feedback - Apple

Idiris, Applecrecommended or not, no App has an active notification at 7am.

it comes from the Alarm app - the notification says so without option to stop or snooze.

happened after the last iOS update. When is Apple fixing this?

I have the same.

All seems to be from my recent upgrade to iPhone 11 over the holidays.

Lucky me, with 11 daily ghost alarms meant for Christmas Day.

LMK how to shut this off, since every search comes up empty handed.

I have the sample problem. I use iPhone 8plus with the lastest iOS. This bug is definitely coming from the Alarm App. If you set up an alarm and let it goes for a while. It will continue to go off even if you remove the alarm. I have tested it.

By the way, the Alarm app is not in the Notification area so we can not longer disable it either.

This is happening to my 90 yr old mom who is in assisted living and we can’t go help her due to no visitors aloud. She reset all settings but at 5am it went off again. Through FT I have checked alarms, bedtime, etc. Very concerned if we reset to factory settings, she won’t be able to reconfigure her phone back to where it was. Any other suggestions?

This is just ridiculous. I have an iPhone 6s Plus. And my husband is also. They were both purses in the same order. Mine has this phantom alarm that comes on periodically waking me up. His does not. The only difference is he does not really update his iOS is soon as they come out. In fact he does not keep it up to date at all believing that new updates need to get the kinks out before he will download them. (He is an IT professional) As I read through these problems people are having I see that this flaw in the phone has carried on all the way through to the iPhone 11. Either it’s a flaw in the design or it’s someone messing with the breach they’ve been able to find enjoying their fun. Either way it is a real problem if Apple hasn’t been able to fix it through all these iterations.

This is dumb. I’m in the process of deleting all my non essential stuff and backing up to do a full factory restore just to get rid of this ghost alarm. The factory reset did nothing but get rid of my personal settings making things more annoying.

My 90 yr old mom, who is in a nursing home, is having to deal with 2 ghost alarms -

1am & 5am. We are not allowed to go see her, due to Covid, however we have reset all her settings (helping her through FT) and that did nothing. She is having to turn off her phone at night, which we aren’t happy about. Why can’t Apple resolve this?

I had same issue with brand new iPhone 11 Pro - I suspect a hangover from the icloud backup of old phone - even though alarm had been switched off and then deleted altogether.

I eventually got rid of it by choosing the Reset All Settings option (under General\Reset)

There is no need to choose the Erase All Content option and the reset will saved my data and email, wifi settings etc

There was some post-reset work - but all relatively minor - e.g wallpaper, setting up Face ID etc and I was prompted for some permission the first time I used certain Apps.

But alarm gone!

Too bad! Just got new phone. Tried to set alarm clock. Redirect to some bullying ****. Alarm redirects to some BUllshit APP!!!!???!!?? I’m on call need to get a phone call in middle of night. Hello !!!!! I need a TELEPHONE!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU Apple!!! I WiLL LOSE this phone tomorrow! I will get landline so that I may have a telephone and turn this “device” to put it mildly

My wife has the same issue on her iPhone 11 - an alarm goes off at 06:55 every morning. There is no alarm set and there are no other alarm apps installed on her phone. The notification disappears as soon as the phone is unlocked, and no option to snooze or silence is given. I have read about the possibility of ghost alarms due to a glitch, and suspect that this is the case here. Any solutions? Thanks

Had same problem recently when I bought new iPhone 11 Pro. Did a lot of research - and the only thing that worked was resetting everything back to factory settings. I was expecting to have to restore a fresh back up but the process actually saved data, emails, photos etc - so only took a short time.

I have the same problem too. I also get a notification in the Notification Center that clearly comes from the clock, not another app.

As suggested above: Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
