Unexplained alarm

I just upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro from an 11 Pro. From the first day I had the 11, there was an unexplained alarm at 6:30am that went off each morning. It appeared at 6:30 like it was in the clock app. However, it didn’t appear in the set alarms in the clock app, and not in any other apps that I could find. When I upgraded, the setting transferred to the 14, so I still have this unexplained alarm at 6:30am.

Any suggestions?

Try opening the Shortcuts app and tap on Automation in the bottom center menu.


Do you have some kind of automation that starts an alarm there. If so, delete it. I just tried to create an automation that starts an alarm, and that alarm does NOT appear in the clock app. So that could possibly be the reason.

It could be the Sleep/Wake Up alarm that is activated. The alarm is connected to the Health app, and can also be activated by the Sleep Focus profile.


If you do not want the alarm to ring, you can delete it from the Health app.

Open Clock App → Select Alarm at the bottom → Tap Change → Tap Edit Sleep Schedule in Health → Tap Edit in Full Schedule → Scroll down and tap Delete Schedule → then disable Sleep Schedule.



Also see if your Sleep Focus profile is set to activate automatically here:

SettingsFocusSleep → find SET A SCHEDULE → Tap into the time → tap Delete Schedule or just deactivate.

Okay. When you got the alarm, how could you tell it was from the Clock app? I think it might also be a Timer. Do you still get an Alarm at 6:30?
