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

After I updated to iOS 17 my alarm stopped making noise too. I fixed it by disabling the standby feature. It installed default On. I noticed that when I picked up my phone in the morning (after using a normal alarm clock because I stopped replying on my iPhone) this odd screen showed up including a little red bell.


Try turning this off and report back!!

Same issue with new iPhone 15. I’ve tried deleting & recreating alarms, changing the sound & volue, and rebooting. It will work when I test it out awake, but never in the morning when I rely on it. When I look at the phone it appears as if the alarm is going off (see snooze & off buttons) but there is no sound. I use a sleep schedule (so certain people don’t wake me up with texts) and had to re-enable alarms within it, that didn’t work. Today I deleted the sleep schedule altogether and tried disabling the standby feature so we’ll see what happens tomorrow morning.

I have an iphone 14 and have been dealing with this issue since summer 2023. I have 4 alarms set on my phone for the morning and they will randomly not go off, and its usually linked to a new update coming out. Every time theres a new update becomes available, my alarms become intermittent and just won’t go off once a week or so. Its never consistent. I’m so freaking frustrated because I am trying to get a job at my kids school and my kids have been late by a half hour 16 times this year because of this issue!!! Not to mention that once my son starts to take the bus, this will create a whole new issue because I can’t drive!!! Get this fricking fixed apple!!

My new iPhone 15 has the same issue. The alarm is “alarming “ or going off, etc and the phone makes no sound. However if i set a timer or a manual alarm to test it, then it makes sound. Luckily I’ve also got the watch and that vibrates, so I’ve not overslept too bad, but why would a company design a watch and a phone with alarms nobody can HEAR?


i tried the Apple support a couple of times and that was a ridiculous experience, the first thing they wanted me to do was to reset my phone.

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 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."
