No matter what I do the annoying calendar alert sound will not change on my iPhone13 mini. The software is up to date (iOS16.6) I've tried shutting the phone off and restarting so many times I've lost count but nothing I try works. This is been going on since I purchased the phone over 2 years ago. When is Apple going to fix this issue?
iPhone 6, iOS 12
I’d like to echo this complaint. Yes, we’ve gone through all the alert/notification settings and no, it doesn’t resolve the problem.
And yes, we’ve powered on/off, deleted/recreated alerts, even done a full system reset. Nothing works and it’s been this way for years!
I just dropped $1k for a new 15 Pro and between that and iOS 17, I thought SURELY they would have given in and fixed this, but I overestimated Apple’s competence w/regard to this persistent, annoying bug.
C’mon guys- enough already!!!!!
Can’t disagree with you- the reset was a huge pain and this bug has lingered for years without Apple addressing it
Same problem. I have all the sounds and alerts for Calendar set to "none," yet it won't stop giving alerts. This really needs to be fixed, since it annoys others who hear it during meetings, etc.
I can’t change the calendar alert on my phone just like many others.
Hello Louiex2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Without knowing what you have tried previously to change the notification sound for calendar events try this: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Calendar Alerts and select an Alert Tone from the menu. This should change the tone when you close out. Let us know if this doesn't work.
Best regards.
Hey Louiex2,
We'd recommend contacting Apple Support for further assistance on this. You can contact them here: Get Support
Thanks!
Already did that and they couldn't figure out
Yep. Brand new iPhone 15pro.
went through ALL Apple helpline suggestions while in Apple Store. All to no avail. Same calendar alert sounds no matter what sound you select.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@Vanessa1017 Yes and Apple refuses to fix the problem. The only answer you will get from the help desk is the standard suggestions that do not work.
I just had two posts about this problem removed by Apple because, evidently you are not allowed to post anything of critical of the Apple Support Desk.
@jeffd55 I did that, it does not work. I contacted Apple and they have no answer either.
Calendar alert sound cannot be changed on my iPhone 13
