iPhone alarms are usually silent and do not vibrate.

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.

Dear Tiggge, Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

Same issue. It’s cost me several plane flights and business meetings. If I set an Alarm it should go off regardless of the “focus” mode and ring silencer. I don’t want to wake up to a telemarketing call, I do want to wake up to set an alarm.

Never use an iPhone alarm there unreliable and S*** it’s a gamble whether it will actually go off and when they do good luck stopping them if you hit snooze it works if you hit stop it still f***ing snoozes the amount of times I’ve went into someplace hours after I woke up and it will just randomly start going off I don’t get why they can’t just make a normal f***ing alarm that will go off at the time I set andwhen I stop it it stops forever until I turn it back on if they can’t figure out how snooze works they need to remove it because why the f*** have a stop button that only acts like it’s stopped the alarm

I'm sorry. There seems to be something wrong with your keyboard that's making it very hard to read your post. It sounds, though, as if you're having trouble setting alarms. Start here:

How to set and change alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support

Then, if you're still having trouble, let us know at what point.

I have a iPhone 15. I have tried every that you listed here… and still it does it. I listen to music all night long. The alarm icon always comes on showing the ringing clock… but yet the music is playing with no actual alarm. The vibration on the alarm clock does not work either. I have had iPhones since they came out. This will be my last. There is just so much wrong with this phone.

I have always been able to wake up from my alarms… 1 alarm with sound and the buzz and I’m awake. I set 8 alarms the other day and none of them made any sound or vibration… I missed my flight and I now feel very uncomfortable using my phone alarm to wake me up in the morning.
