Alarm didn’t go off on Do Not Disturb mode
Recently I updated the details in the Do Not Disturb setting, and now no apps are allowed. Not sure if this is why my alarm didn’t go off this morning??
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Hello Dianepaddington,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We'd be happy to provide guidance for using your Focus settings so your alarms go off when you'd like. To answer your question: Yes, when you set Do Not Disturb, but don't allow the Alarms app for notifications, it would have been silenced. First, here's how to allow the Alarms app (or any others preferred) if you use the Do Not Disturb Focus: Allow or silence notifications for a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support
Next, you could set up and use the Sleep Focus for this time period, which would also allow Alarms to come through: Turn your Sleep Focus on or off on iPhone - Apple Support
If you have any further concerns, reply back with additional details.
Take care.
