Hello RFB745,


The alarm on iPhone will only sound once, unless you have enabled Snooze. If you're not seeing a Snooze option when the alarm sounds, then here's how you can turn on Snooze for an alarm: How to set and change alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support


How to set an alarm
1. Open the Clock app, then tap the Alarm tab.
2. Tap the Add button .
3. Set a time for the alarm. You can also choose one of these options:
* Repeat: Tap to set up a recurring alarm.
* Label: Tap to name your alarm.
* Sound: Tap to pick a sound that plays when the alarm sounds.
* Snooze: Turn on to see a Snooze option when the alarm sounds.
4 Tap Save.


If the alarm isn't working as expected, then test the behavior after deleting and creating a new alarm to help isolate the behavior:


How to delete an alarm
* Swipe left over the alarm and tap Delete.
* Tap Edit, tap the Delete button , then tap Delete.
* Tap Edit, tap the alarm, then tap Delete Alarm.


If further assistance is needed, please provide more details including how you have configured the alarm and the behavior you're expecting from the alarm.


Kind regards.
