iPhone alarms are usually silent and do not vibrate.

SERIOUSLY! iPhone alarm issues

with or without watch sleep tracking, With or without silent mode activated, With or without “stop playing” timer for audio, with or without wireless Apple MagSafe charger phone in landscape or portrait and With or without wearing air-buds. If I set a wake-up alarm I WANT AN ALARM TO SOUND! Plain and simple.

Which means that if you accidentally happens to need 3-4 alarms one morning because of night duties in the home you need to set several alarms with 5-10 minutes in between?

I done this, but the alarm is silenced by any movement, new alarm or SMS coming in at the same time.

On top, if alarm starts off loud, it goes very silent or totally silent within 1 second.

For $2,0000+ that's not something I think would be a feature in a very expensive (for ordinary people very expensive). I believe Apple has a work around, but chose silent alarms as a built-in feature?

Tested on one regular daily alarm. Finally ear-damaging sound. Perfection.

Monday is the ultimate test. Continuous alarms for 90 minutes to track medical procedures for my daughter.

Thank you very much @Asirae

Wishing you a really pleasant weekend

One of these suggestions helped I think. But still feels like a design problem more than user error. If I set an alarm, I want to be notified. Period. Unless I set the alarm sound to None, it should go off. I should not have to check my ringer volume, do not disturb setting, or sleep focus as well. It’s also hard to understand how all these features interact generally. Please work on this Apple. Sincerely, a UX Researcher.

This is the most ridiculous response. An alarm should just work! Why would anyone want to set an alarm and NOT have it go off unless we change a bazillion settings?! Out of curiosity I followed these steps and half of them do not exist. Personally my alarm has been having issues since the recent updates.. smh

I have missed exams and other important meetings because of this problem. How is the official Apple response: "Go and change 20 hidden settings, where you have to turn on all your sounds." I don’t want to have notification sounds or others on, but i want my alarm to make an ALARM. How is there not just an option to keep your sound off, but the alarm at full blast. For one of the largest companies on earth to not be able to create a functioning and simple alarm is ridiculous. I just had enough and bought a classic alarm clock with bells for 10€. How is a >1000€ phone unable to do this?

And yet, most of us manage to use the alarm on our iPhones with no problems. I haven't owned any other sort of alarm for more than a decade. My employers could attest to my lack of tardiness (despite not being a morning person). The difference between you and me is, perhaps, that I don't view learning how my complex tech works as something I shouldn't have to do.

everything ive googled just says “turn your ringer up” its already all the way up. if it even went off it would show the time, snooze and stop buttons but they are never there. apple alarm clock is terrible

Instead of rudely insulting others for being frustrated. You could acknowledge that the issue is that it works most of the time, but then it doesn’t every now and then. Making it hard to pin down the problem. No matter the solution, its just way too complicated to be acceptable.

Perhaps take your own advice? Consider how frustrating it is to give instructions over and over again in a thread and have people completely ignore them.

This is ridiculous. First, this has been happening since I get my iPhone 14 1.5 years ago. Two, sometimes it works and other times it does not. I have not changed any settings, but my iPhone decides when it wants to function properly. This is not only a basic issue that should always work, it is extremely important. I travel for work including internationally and I cannot rely on my phone to perform as it is supposed to.

This is an obvious software error from Appl. I've delt with it on every iPhone I've owned for the last few years. It happened again this morning and it's ironic it usually happens when I ignore an update for too many days. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple does this initially so you panic trying to figure out the problem and you instinctively update. I'm just speculating but it almost ALWAYS happens when an update is dismissed for too many days.

I’ve had serious problems with this current phone and past I phones where the alarm will not go off. I’m in the army and it’s detrimental that I make my hit times so I kind of have to rely on my phones alarm, but as of recent, my phone for some reason just won’t go off. **** I even missed calls from people trying to wake me up. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

So i set 4 alarms from 5:30am to 6am for this morning… DnD automatically comes off schedule at 5am. I made sure after having this issue only 2 days prior for my phone to be on loud, volume up fully & on charge… tell me why this morning when i’ve gone on my phone it was on 100% but showed the apple logo as if it’d been turned off during the night 🤷🏾‍♂️ no alarms gone off n phone as if it’d been switched off??? 2 days of work i’ve missed due to this issue!!!!????

Dear Apple, this bug cost me 400 euro lol

I overslept my flight because of this. The volume is set to maximum. The normal media (video, messengers) is played loudly. And the alarm clock became quiet! I can’t hear it at all during my trips.
