iOS 14 sleep wake up alarm sound not working on iPhone

I am experiencing the same issue. I have two Apple watches, a series 3 (which I wear to bed) and a series 5 (for my everyday), which both will sound the wake up alarm (the series 3 I have on theater mode, so it vibrates), but my phone does not sound since upgrading to iOS14. I hope this issue is resolved swiftly, as I am definitely not an morning person and would like to use this function.

I have the same problem and I noticed that when I go to settings -> sounds & haptics -> ringer and alerts then the volume is always down, I rise it back to maximum, exit settings and its back to no volume at all. Never had this issue before the update, really frustrating.

I’m having a similar issue. I’m using bedtime mode on my phone, but since updating my iPhone 7 to iOS 14, the alarm sound First Light does not play from my phone, nor does my phone vibrate. I set the volume all the way up, as well. I’ve been late for class the past couple of days because of the alarm not going off. I don’t have an Apple Watch, (granted, since I’m a broke college student) so I don’t even get any subtle vibrations to wake me up. This is a serious issue that needs fixing.

when I wear my watch to sleep it only vibrates during the alarm in the morning and my phone makes no sound. I keep my watch on silent to prevent dings all day but need my phone to make songs in the mornings for the alarm and Wang to track sleep at night.

any suggestions or just out of luck with ios14?

I had the same issue this morning and overslept an hour. I noticed the same note under alarm options but when I woke this morning and looked at my watch it was on the 7am alarm screen (with dismiss or snooze options) yet it was 7:59 and I swear it hadn’t vibrated as I usually feel it and I had been semi-awake. Not good. It feels like the whole system is trying to be too clever for its own good and missing the main purpose!

I’ve never set up the sleep function on my watch nor have I ever worn it to bed + I haven’t worn my watch in a week and it’s been on the charger. Since iOS 14.0.1 when my alarm goes off in the morning using the sleep feature it ONLY goes off on my watch and not my phone. Extremely frustrating given that I barely hear my watch going off and I didn’t even set up my watch with the sleep feature to begin with....

Update both watch and phone last night and activated this function. Slept through alarm and late for work!!! If can't be fixed, may have to go back to old school alarm clock. I just can't risk missing any work!

Same issue & I was late to work today as well. Please fix this Apple! The Bedtime alarm used before was the only alarm that I've ever liked that's worked well for me. Light taps on my wrist are not going to cut it. Please put the sounds back!!!

I purchased yesterday the Apple Watch 3 and I have the exact same issue today my alarm didn’t sound and I was late for everything I had... I had the watch on the charger so it didn’t vibrate too.

Please fix it ASAP!

this is so dumb

it works half the time on my iphone and my apple watch is all the way downstairs

when my bedtime alarm goes off it is silent on my iphone but when I checked my apple watch, the alarm and sound goes there....

Yes, I thought that would be the case. So at the moment, if you want to use your watch to track your sleep - you have no choice but to simply put up with your iPhone alarm not ringing. They have to fix this, it's crazy and I'm regularly sleeping straight through it!

Same issue. Wear watch 5 to sleep for tracking. Before iOS 14 update bedtime alarm would ring on phone and vibrate watch. Watch on silent and theater mode when sleeping, silent mode all the time.

After iOS 14 update, no sound from phone and only haptic from watch. This is not enough to wake me up. Have turned off use watch for sleep in health app, same results.

The inability to control what device sounds the alarm is unacceptable as I don’t want my watch to make noise all the time and it could be buried under a pillow.

users should have the ability to determine source of alarm sound.

Same issue! Besides being terribly complex to set compared to how it was in the last IOS, right in the alarms where it should be, now it’s not even making noise?? I haven’t woken up right in over a week since I updated. I want to revert my iPhone 7 back to IOS13 so bad and I’ve never wanted to do that before.

I WANT to use the watch for sleep tracking, though. I was really excited they were finally going to integrate this into the health app. I’ve been using the Pillow app thus far. Before IOS14, In the morning my alarm rings nice and gently AND my watch vibrates. Now only the watch vibrates (too gently to wake me up).
