Question marked as
These changes mentioned below were the same prior to iOS 16 and after.
"If the alarm volume is too low or quiet...
Do Not Disturb and the Ring/Silent switch don’t affect the alarm sound. If you set your Ring/Silent switch to Silent or turn on Do Not Disturb, the alarm will still sound.
If your alarm doesn’t sound or is too quiet, or if your iPhone only vibrates, check the following:
- Set the volume on your iPhone. If your alarm volume is too low or too loud, press the volume up or volume down button to adjust it. You can also go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag the slider under Ringtone and Alert Volume.
- If your alarm only vibrates, make sure your alarm sound isn’t set to None. Open the Clock app, tap the Alarm tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.
- If you connect headphones to your iPhone, the alarm will play at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones.
Manually adjusting the time on your iPhone in Settings to change app behaviour, such as game timers, isn’t recommended and can affect alarms."

100% correct Debbie9566! I can control volume with slider after following your suggestion. Brilliant!
This worked! Thank you so much!! 😊
This does not work. Mine was already put and my alarm still does not work properly
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
PS hopefully this will work for my phone ringing. Also, will let you guys know if it doesn’t.
turn off change with buttons half works . Alarm stars out loud then the volume drops considerably after about 3 or 4 seconds. Also I have snooze selected and snooze isn’t working at all.
thank you!! Tried everything I could think of, then read this. Didn’t know about this option. Alarms all good now. Thank you!
Did you ever find a fix for this issue?
screenshot of Debbie’s post… worked for me! 🙌
I’ve been late for work twice because my iphone15 alarm goes quiet immediately. Please fix it so I don’t have to keep using my baby Ben windup!
Yes!! You are right ! Saved my mornings
Bring back the “Alarm Volume” slider you can adjust within the alarm.
Early versions definitely had an alarm volume slider.
