iOS 17 iPhone Alarm Turns Off with StandBy Mode

I felt like I've been missing a ton of alarms recently, and this makes so much sense. When my alarm goes off I often grab the phone and hit a button to snooze it. I guess from Standby this turns off the alarm? The alarm should need very clear user input to turn off.

It's motion detection that turns off the audible portion of the alarm but still displays the stop or snooze button. I have overslept my alarm a couple times now while using standby and just figured out its because of the motion detection. I did a test where I turned my stand around to face the wall and the alarm sound was working just like it was supposed to and when I spun it around the sound shut off. I also reset the alarm again facing me and when it started to go off I waved my hand about a foot from the screen it shut the alarm sound off again.

I have looked for a setting to fix but can't seem to find one. Looks like I will have to go back to not using the standby mode. I loved the alarm clock on the phone but until they fix the issue I won't be using standby mode.

Solved.

I had this problem for ages and was happy to see that other people were having the same problem.

Then my wife started using standby mode and her alarm worked fine.

The problem was I had my alarm set to vibrate and hers was set to make a noise.

I changed mine to play a tune and now it works fine.

Hope this helps.

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.

This issue still persists and sadly this is my first experience with an IPhone. I’ve been late more times to my job in the past 3 months than I ever have been in the last 14 years. I’ve only ever had androids and switching to iPhone has been great but I’m not gonna let this phone take my job. I will be switching back if this issue isn’t resolved soon.

The fact that your issue hasn't yet been fixed doesn't mean that Apple is unaware of it. It just means that there are bigger issues to resolve first.

Same issue, and this reply has literally nothing to do with what the original post is asking about.

My alarm doesn't even sound when in standby mode. I won't be bothering with this feature until it's fixed. Trigger now I've been late waking up.

I just submitted this, thanks! I wasn’t sure how to do that.

My alarm and snooze DID work properly this morning!

SlimSim14,

Since the issue continues, we suggest contacting Apple Support to look into this further.

Cheers!

additionally, I tried to delete and reinstall the clock app, and the clock app did not reinstall, so I had to wipe my phone and reinstall everything.

This same thing is happening to me too - so frustrating. I've now turned off StandBy mode.

I've had the same issue when in standby mode. Was two hours late to work this morning so I took a look into it and sure enough the alarm gets canceled as soon as you touch the phone.

Should other people who still have this issue also contact apple support further? How should we go about doing this?
