iOS 17 iPhone Alarm Turns Off with StandBy Mode

When StandBy Mode is turned on and active while the phone is in the landscape position, if the alarm goes off and the phone is disturbed (taken off the charger/ slightly bumped off the charger, or taken out of StandBy Mode the alarm will actually completely turn off.


The reason I hope this is just a setting I can disable without disabling STandBy mode is I like to check the time throughout the night, however, when i wake up in the morning I'd rather press a physical button as I've accidentally pressed the wrong one. But now every time I barely touch my phone it will stop the alarm and not snooze it.

Yep, second time in a week that I overslept by an hour because my alarm was mysteriously off while in StandBy mode. Been using the Sleep alarm for years without any issue, StandBy is the only new variable, frustrating bc I just bought a stand just to use with StandBy!

The alarm issue also impacts me on my iPhone 12 mini. Also found that standby mode breaks my custom setting for do not disturb and the notification summary feature—ignores it like I never set it up. Until this is fixed, standby mode is a worthless feature.

Worthless to you..... I love it.


Have you told Apple what you think? They are, after all, the only ones who can do anything.

Oh that’s interesting. I have a DND setting for sleep but my girlfriend has the permission to come through silently and she did message me after I had gone to bed. That would explain it. Decided to set an alarm on my iPad for 15 minutes later than my iPhone so I can safely experiment as well. Thanks for the taking the time to test and report back!

Same here, first night with a 3 in 1 magnetic charger for iphone, airpod, watch. Set the alarm at 6 (I use silent alarm, just vibration) and leaved the phone horizontal and standby was activated, I wake up to bathoom 3am without touching the phone and I noticed that screen was black by the time I came back and seems to detected my movement and started the standby mode again with clock in night mode. Alarm didnt started at 6

Last week I thought I put my alarm on snooze while on Standby. I overslept twice, not quite understanding. My IPhone 14 is plugged in and the phone cover has a small ‘kickstand’ which allows it to stand in portrait or landscape mode. This morning the alarm went off and I made sure I tapped Sleep. When it was supposed to ring the second time..I saw the options Sleep or Off (whatever the other choice is) appears from the top and then it went away..the alarm no longer in Sleep Mode..
