Iphone update 16 makes alarm volume same as ringer volume, making my alarm pointless!
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Copied this from a Reddit discussion, I had the same problem and was late for work because of it ‘just found a fix , you need to goto Face ID & passcode in settings and turn off attention aware !’ I’ve just tried it and it works, made me jump out of my skin as I had my volume full blast
No one here can do anything about your issue nor does Apple act on comments here.

Hi - I’ve had the same issues with those later iOS updates (13 Pro). I manually adjusted this slider in the sounds menu and it’s much better.
The side volume keys didn’t adjust it, have to drag it. When I opened it, it was down at minimum for some reason. Set max it’s fire alarm loud, middle to 2/3 is ok.
Hope that helps, found this thread googling the issue after sleeping because of it.
This doesn’t work for me. Since the update, I sleep through my alarms too. I have an iPhone 8, so no Face ID. Alarms just don’t work anymore. I went through settings & used slider. I’ve used buttons. Everything is all the way up, but can’t hear the alarm.
screenshot of Debbie’s post… worked for me! 🙌
Debbie9566 - Thanks, that worked for me on IPhone 15. Can now depend on it waking me up. Don’t know why I can’t use a song for my alarm as I did on my previous phones though. Can’t seem to get an answer to that.
It doesn’t work , I have it turned off , the alarm volume at full, but yet it’s still being controlled by my main audio volume , this is such a terrible system

That has actually always been the case. There has never been a separate volume control for Alarm through the Alarm app. However, if you set an Alarm through the sleep tracking function in the Health app, you have some independent volume control.
Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone - Apple Support
If the problem is that you want to silence the ring while sleeping but still hear the alarm, the fastest, simplest way is to use the mute switch on the side of the phone just above the volume buttons. That will silence all alerts but still allow the alarm to sound at whatever volume you're selected.
Or, you can set up a Sleep Focus that prevents notifications you don't want but still allows ones from people you might want to hear from in the event of an emergency. You will still hear your alarm.
Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Bring back the “Alarm Volume” slider you can adjust within the alarm.
There has never been a separate Alarm Volume slider. People have been asking for one for years but Apple hasn't provided one. The only place you'll find one is if you set up a Sleep tracking schedule. That alarm has a separate slider.
Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:
Note also the alarm is now viewer aware. with the end result it won't go off at full volume if you're looking at your phone when it goes off.
This worked! Thank you so much!! 😊
Thanks! It’s works for me!!!
I read what Debbie said when she copied from Reddit for the alarm for my new iPhone, 15+ and it worked!!
thank you Debbie for posting it
thank you!! Tried everything I could think of, then read this. Didn’t know about this option. Alarms all good now. Thank you!
