Alarm stopped working after iOS 15

I’m having the same problem! This is insane!! I’ve tried picking different ringtones for the alarms. I’ve set the alarms at different intervals. 2 minutes apart. Just to make sure I wake up. Starting an hour before I need to get up. Hoping that at least I will hear some faint ding. But no I just get some faint ding once. Not all the different ringtones I chose. Why would one of the most important features on everyone’s phones be messed with. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS NOW AND ISSUE A NEE UPDATE IMMEDIATELY. Makes me disappointed that I finally went from my 7 to pro max 13. It doesn’t matter if you have a nice phone when your alarm doesn’t work. A basic feature!

Hi,

Thanks for asking your alarm clock is not making any sound since the iOS 15 update. I understand that since updating to iOS 15, there has been no alarm sound on your iPhone nor Apple Watch. I suggesting creating a new alarm to see if you get the sound notification. If it does work, delete the existing alarms and the set them up again

I had the same problem and I used a song as my alarm but I ended up getting it fixed. I went into the music settings and turned off the “download in Dolby Atmos” option. Then removed that songs download and redownloaded it. That ended up fixing my problem!

I called Apple Support (my watch was still under warranty) and they tried several things for several weeks including pushing updates to my watch. Finally, I said "I really need you to replace this watch -- it obviously does not work." Then they called me back, pushed me another update and the watch has been working perfectly ever since (about 2 weeks now).

I suggest calling Apple Customer Support . . . they obviously don't help us here.

I was very frustrated last night when I could not get my alarm sounds and vibrations to work. I frantically searched the internet for answers, and I found one site that said to do a settings reset. Everything in this discussion has not helped, but to reset my settings did. If anyone wants to try this solution, Go to general->scroll to the bottom where it says reset and then choose the reset settings-option.

Hopefully, this helps the ones that it hasn't worked for

I think I’ve tried all the online “fixes” for my iPhone alarm not working after IOS 15 update. Nothing has worked.

Hi Less,

thank you very much! Deleting my existing alarms and creating a new one solved the issue for me!

Cheers, Ann

Seriously? They are not going to respond unless we use the app?

I’ve tried all the fixes too and nothing has worked

Where is that app?

Huge thank you to 'Bbstills'. Your solution worked perfectly and I now have music back in my alarms. Pretty stupid that Apple would do this, but thanks for figuring it out :-)

You’re very welcome. Glad I could help because it was making me nuts!!! :)

I have a similar issue, the difference is it's intermittent, and using night owl (standard alarm tone) tried the usual remove alarm and add it back, slept in this morning due to it👹👹👹

Exactly the same here, I’m on an iPhone XR running iOS 15.1, yesterday it did exactly what you described, today it’s working, fine, very strange 🙄

I found a fix if you want to use music for your alarm. See my previous post and let me know if it works for you. This was very frustrating for me and I’m so relieved it works now.
