Alarm Pausing rather than snoozing

When my alarm goes off in the morning and I hit snooze, It pauses the alarm rather than snoozing. The alarm still shows up on the lock screen but there is no snooze countdown. The screen message says "Alarm Clock" and has a timer that counts up. It will stay that way for hours until I tell it to snooze or turn off.


I don't understand how it gets to that screen or how to stop it from doing it.

Hi there HavinfunOne,


If alarms on your iPhone aren't snoozing as expected, let's first ensure this setting is enabled on each alarm. The 'How to set an alarm' section here outlines where to find this option: How to set and change alarms on your iPhone


Let's also set up a new test alarm with snooze enabled and see if it behaves as expected. This will help us isolate this behavior further.


Ensuring your iPhone is fully updated installs new security content and bug fixes that can resolve unexpected issues like this as well. This show how to back up and update: Update your iPhone or iPad


Cheers!
