Have iPhone 11with iOS 14.5 and am no longer getting any sound on timer or alarm -only screen notification? Checked all sound settings, and other sounds are working such as phone calls and message notifications. Music plays as well. Phone is not in silent mode, but this started after I had put the phone in airplane mode.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
In case this happens to someone else. I had turned on “attention awareness” under settings, accessibility, physical and motor. That way when I was using it, the phone did not dim, and sounds weren’t loud. I did turn this off again but apparently it did not turn off. So when I was setting a timer, if I was using my phone, no sound came out, just a pop up notification. Same happens with an alarm. I was trying to set a new sound for my alarm but didn’t realize that if I was looking at the phone at the time, the sound would turn off. So I thought there was no sound on the yimer or alarm. I’ve turned this feature off again, restarted the phone, and all is well again

Hey Cammcc,
Thanks for posting your question in Apple Support Communities.
If you are having issues with your alarms not sounding, the first thing you should try would be to update your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Install the latest version of iOS.
If you are still having issues, try following the steps in this article: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker.
Best Wishes.
Sound on timer snd alarm
