Iphone update 16 makes alarm volume same as ringer volume, making my alarm pointless!

Many thanks from Sweden, U saved me a lot of frustration!!!!
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."

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
