This is not helpful. Previous to posting my question, I have tried all of these approaches and none work. I have gone into Alarms and clicked on my selected sound and adjusted the VOLUME ( not RINGER) down. However, when the alarm sounds, it is at the volume level of the RINGER, meaning LOUD. I have tried toggling the "change with buttons" button under Sounds & Haptics to get my ALARM low but keep my RINGER high and nothing seems to work. It seems like the ALARM can only be LOW if the RINGER is LOW. This is SUPER annoying. My husband has a SAMSUNG and he can do this on his phone. How is it possible that I can't do this on my iphone???
