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!!

I’m so sorry I switched from my S23 FE. I did because I have trouble hearing and it became too hard to understand Samsung. I have 4 hearing disorders and the pain trying to communicate with people with accents has become a severe problem. My problem not there’s. This iPhone Pro Max 15 is overpriced nothing but problems since I bought it. Battery draining fast. Slow to charge. Now no matter the alarm sound or how loud it either doesn’t ring or sound way to low. It’s hard to highlight & control the curser making writing a text message way too long. Apple wants money for everything. Few widgets, most Apps cost money. It’s a very expensive phone that has a lot of problems, but also a lot of bells and whistles but I cannot do the simple things I need to do. I did ask but the Apple rep didn’t know what he was talking about. I really want to go back to android’s as soon as possible. While iPhone supports longer and gives security patches longer it’s just not worth it.

Yes these bozos at Apple have managed to over think and screw up one of the most basic features. The alarm used to be independent of the sound ‘ringer’ - in other words if I set my alarm to a specific sound volume, it would work, independent of whether I have my volume set to low because I don’t want to be bothered while I sleep or work but I do actually have to get up to work so the dang alarm SHOULD be independent of all- LOLOL …but now it seems there’s this strange interplay between the actual volume button for the ringer and the alarm and I can’t figure out which one overrides the other…oh and I tried to select a song (‘Son of a Sailor’) for my alarm to experiment but it would revert to some space sounding alarm- I guess the folks at Apple don’t like Jimmy Buffett either 😆 Regardless, the good folks at Apple have completely over engineered this expensive product… or maybe ‘mis engineered’ (if that’s even a word, but it seems to apply to the team at Apple…) It’s absolutely ridiculous.
