iPhone alarm is so loud

Hello I have a XS MAX. My alarm use to be fine but after upgrading my software to IOS 14 the alarm is so loud!. I mean it is blaring. I tried to adjust the sound in the sleep app, health app and I even turn down all of my sounds but my alarm still goes off like it’s on the highest setting. But when I look at the sound it’s on the lowest setting 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. Will this be getting fixed? And I did reset my phone did all the troubleshooting.

I believe I have fixed my issue (if you have sleep schedule enabled like I do, with the alarm). Here’s what you do:

1- Go to your alarm app

2- Click Change, next to your “sleep/wake up”.

3- Scroll to the bottom and click “Edit Sleep Schedule”.

4- Click edit under you different schedules (I have one for weekdays and another for weekends).

5- Adjust the volume level in this screen and be sure to click “Done” to accept the change.

6- Close the sleep app.


Done! Viola!

I have the exact same issue with my new iPhone 12 mini. I have to keep my volume on high at night for notifications for my home security system, but now the alarm is ridiculously loud. It was fine before with the previous o/s. My ‘sounds and haptics’ settings are on ‘change with buttons’ but it makes no difference. The alarm has clearly been changed since the previous o/s. Apple - please fix it asap!

Thank you @iphone12miniuser.


This drove me so insane starting from day one with my new phone that I popped my sim card back into my trusty 5S in frustration.


While testing the various workarounds for this issue, I noticed that my volume setting (mine is tied to buttons) is respected on my 12 mini with iOS 14 when my phone is unlocked, but the alarm blares like mad when locked (the expected state for a sleep/wake alarm).


I was searching how to pursue that line of investigation when I found your post. Thank you for cross-posting this tip. 🙏
