Ghost Alarm on iPhone 11 Pro

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?

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?

Too bad! Just got new phone. Tried to set alarm clock. Redirect to some bullying ****. Alarm redirects to some ******** APP!!!!???!!?? I’m on call need to get a phone call in middle of night. Hello !!!!! I need a TELEPHONE!!!!!!!!! **** 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

Idris, your suggestion will NOT solve anything. I still have this stupid alarm waking me up every single morning at 7am!

It's just baffling to me that this issue seems to not have been fixed fir years! I am paying all this money to have a top notch phone, yet I am having problems with the ALARM?? Is this even real in 2020??

This is a Clock app issue. The Alarm just appears exactly as it appears when a clock alarm is set up, yet none is set. I have already deleted all apps and installed them back. NOTHING works!

Please fix this! This is clearly a bug that nobody is taking into consideration, since I have seen this problem from years ago.

It unacceptable to have to reset your phone for something like this! How can we trust your products if something as simple as this cannot be solved???

I can't fix it. I don't work for Apple. And, I flunked computer programming in college.

Most people don't have this problem. That would indicate that there is probably something amiss with your particular device. If you don't want to do the troubleshooting, then you will need to live with the problem. It's your choice.

Are you kidding me? Like you are really here to make jokes or something....

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

Who is that "vast" majority you are mentioned that this so called solution has worked for? If you make a very quick search on Google you'll be able to see the amounts of frustrated customers going through the same thing, yet nobody at Apple offers a viable solution. Only I have received 5 comments to a Youtube video showing this problem, asking me if I have found any solution. Sure, it just easy to assume that only I have the problem instead of understanding that this is a much broader issue.

Forgive me for assuming that you work at Apple. I thought we were here to offer solutions instead of false accusing.

Yeah, of course. i just like to “just complain” equally as much as you like to assume that every problem is actually nothing more than a user error.

Once again, you're trying to put words in my mouth. I never mentioned user error. I suggested troubleshooting steps. You have stated that you will not do those steps. There is nothing wrong with complaining if you're doing it somewhere that may accomplish something. You might also try the Contact Support link in the upper right corner of every page of these forums.

Hi Mattuly, could you solve it? I have already followed this instruction Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings but it still keep awaking me up everymorning at 6:55 and 7:00..

This did not fix. And now my settings are all messed up. But I still have this annoying ghost alarm 😤
