IOS14 Alarm clock

With the update I can no longer set my alarm clock times to vibrate only. If I select a vibration but no tone, it will only go off silently, making it useless. I am trying to get up without waking a baby, so no tone is necessary. How do I set it for vibrate only now?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Found this article, https://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/976089, which states, "alarms with no sound will not vibrate when the Ringer is on. These silent alarms will only show an alert in Notification Center." Based on that info, I was able to fix me issue where the Alarm was not vibrating while the ringer is ON.


I set "Vibrate on Ring" to ON. Since I don't actually want the phone to vibrate when I get a call or text, I then changed all the "Vibration" settings for "Ringtone," "Text Tone," etc., from "Default" to "None."


Hopefully that fixes the issue you're having too!
