iPhone alarms are usually silent and do not vibrate.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your iPhone 12 Pro Max alarms. There could be several reasons why your alarms are not sounding or vibrating. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Make sure that the volume is turned up and not on silent or vibrate mode. You can check this by using the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone or by going to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and adjusting the volume slider.
2. Verify that you have selected a sound for your alarms. You can do this by going to the Clock app, selecting the Alarm tab, and tapping "Edit" in the top left corner of the screen. Then, tap on the alarm you want to check and make sure you have chosen a sound.
   1. Probably you have set the Alarm Sound to NONE. Watch the GIF below
   2. 
3. Check for Do Not Disturb or Bedtime Mode: If you have Do Not Disturb or Bedtime Mode enabled, your alarms might be silenced. Check the Control Center or Settings to ensure these features are disabled.
4. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches. Turn off your iPhone, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
   1. Restart the device. That's it.
   2. Still not solved --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
5. If the issue persists, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. This will not erase your data but will reset all personalized settings to their default values. Go to Settings > General > Transfer & Reset > Reset > Reset All Settings and confirm the action. Note that you will need to reconfigure your settings afterward. All settings—including network settings, the keyboard dictionary, the Home screen layout, location settings, privacy settings, and Apple Pay cards—are removed or reset to their defaults. No data or media are deleted.
   1. Reset All Settings: Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support:- Return iPhone settings to their defaults
   2. You can return settings to their defaults without erasing your content.
   3. If you want to save your settings, back up your iPhone before returning them to their defaults. For example, if you’re trying to solve a problem but returning settings to their defaults doesn’t help, you might want to restore your previous settings from a backup.
6. Make sure you have the latest updates installed.
   1. Update Over-the-Air (OTA) —> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (IN)
   2. Update using iTunes/Finder —> Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support (IN)

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to reach out to Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your device model and iOS version.

Go to Face ID & Passcode in your setting and turn off Attention Aware Features. It says "iPhone will check for attention before dimming the display, expanding a notification when locked, or lowering the volume of some alerts.", aka, turning your d*** alarms off. Apple.. why?.. would I be awake?... FOR MY ALARM TO GO OFF anyway. Hope this helped !

See if this works for you guys— my alarm would never go off either. It always sounded REALLY quiet. Turn off the sleep tracker in your Health app. That fixed the volume immediately! Posted screenshots for you all. Hope this helps!

(basically if your alarm is before the “amount that you told the Sleep app your goal amount of sleep is” periodically it’s going to mute those alarms)

I was having the same problem. I’m going to try the “turn off snooze” setting and see if it works. Also, whenever I would fall asleep with my Apple Watch on, my alarm on my phone would be going off in a low volume to where I couldn’t hear it. I did some research and when I went to the watch app my sound volume was on low. Try that if you sleep with your watch on.

I think I figured this out. If you've enabled a "sleep" mode make sure alarms is one of the apps that's allowed to notify you during the sleep hours.

Here s the only helpfull comment cuz I have been searching so long. so go to face id and pasword and makesure attention aware features is disabled cuz it lowers the volume with the movement vs…..

I just realized for the last 3-4 weeks I haven’t been waking up to my alarms (I thought I’d gotten sleep apnea or something) because an update turned all of my alarms to silent (no sound attached to any of my alarms). Go through and verify that all of your alarms have a sound attached!

It is the Attention Awareness feature. Turn it off in Settings > Face ID & Passcode.

I had this too, thought I was going crazy. My boss called me one morning because I was late to work. Worst feature ever.

I fixed my issue by going to “sounds and haptics” toggling on “change with buttons” and tested it. GL

I’ve noticed the same issue for my phone aswell, though noted, restarting the phone does fix it however no idea as to whats causing it in the first place, i’ll keep y’all posted

Try resetting your sound level in settings > sound and haptics > ringtone and alerts to a maximum. Worked for me.

No. I was having the same issue and looked in to anything that could help and ended up turning up the volume in sound and haptics and it worked

Hi!!

Had this problem with my new Iphone. Apparently all the alarms are set to snooze automatically so even if you created a new alarm the "snooze" option is enabled automatically. It will never ring!!!. I deleted all alarms and created a new one ensuring that I unchecked the "snooze button and it worked. Now I have to figure out how to stop the automatic snooze button. Was late for a flight because of this !!

Settings > Alarms > Edit > Click on Alarm > Uncheck the "Snooze" button

Ive had the same issue in the past and still do from time to time. Try making sure your phone screen is facing down towards the surface it’s resting on. I’ve found that tends to mitigate the alarm’s silencing themselves

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.

Set a timer to turn the music off at some point before the alarm goes off.
