iPhone 15 alarm not working

i have two phones - a 14 for work and a 15 for personal. My morning alarm does not work on my 15, so I’ve now had to resort to using my 14 for my morning alarm. Time is set correctly, volume is turned ALL the way up and it still won’t go off. Apps are update. It’s got to be a bug in the new 15 operating system.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Same problem. I just switched from android to IPhone 15 Pro. I happend to me twice. My morning alarm was silent. No vibrations. But the alarm was showing on the screen. volume levels are fine. it happen Only for morning alarms. Other alarms work fine.

This really makes my first impressions of using the iPhone poor.

After purchasing a very expensive phone we should not have to become an IT professional overnight to turn off settings/turn setings back on/download free alarms that have so many pop up adds you cant set the alarm/ or purchase from the Apple store another alarm simply because of an Apple malfunction. Absurd and very frustrating as they could have or should have had a fix by now!!

I am having the exact same issue. I'm staring at the alarm going off and no sound. All volumes are up both on ringer and in Sounds and Haptics, I've already hard reset my phone 5 times. When I hold it up to my ear, I hear the faintest ring of the alarm but it doesn't last the entire time the ring is going off. I deleted the Clock app and reinstalled. When I tried to set a new alarm, it said "Sleep is now managed through the Health app" and then forced me to go in there and wanted to me to set up a sleep schedule. I don't need any of this fancy stuff. Just give me my d**n alarm! Any suggestions for a good SIMPLE alarm app?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 13 Pro ever since the iOS updated. At first I thought it was me and then I started testing different things. I have followed every single troubleshooting option. I have deleted and created new alarms. I have resorted it to Setting my Amazon Alexa app every day. This is absolutely ridiculous. Many of us used alarm clocks back in the day and now we rely on our cell phones because they are portable. Why should we have to download a third-party app? It makes me question Apple if they can’t fix something as simple as the alarm clock.

Hope I’m not too late but if you toggle off “attention aware” and “attention aware features” (which I know, it sucks to turn off) in settings, then the alarm in nightstand mode will work.. just do a settings search the two mentioned above and you will find those settings. still not the best but at least I can hear the alarm at least once.. I believe the problem is with the always on feature of the nightstand clock.. it thinks you are somehow looking at the screen..

I am so sick of this. This phone is going to get me fired. I make sure the ringer volume is max. Silence mode off. The alarm has the most obnoxious noise possible. I set like 8 of them over the span of an hour, and still no alarm! It just shows the alarm screen but makes no noise. This is going to get me fired from my job and I’ve already missed a few morning college classes. I’m just about through with my phone I need to have my alarms. I’ve just now tried removing the standby screen as per request of another user in this thread.

"I have been experiencing this issue for over two months now on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Despite updating my phone's software to iOS 17.5, the Clock app doesn't allow me to set an alarm. Whenever I attempt to set one, it doesn't show up in the app. I contacted Apple support, and they advised me to wait for an update. This is quite embarrassing for Apple."
