How do I make the iPhone Alarm play through the speaker?

I have a speaker connected to my iPhone and it plays music, but I want to use it to play white noise at night and have an alarm at the same time. The alarm only plays through my phone and not the speaker. How do I make it to where the alarm plays through the speaker?

Alarm only works with default sound on iPhone I am running the latest software (17.3) on an iPhone 13. Since the start of 2024 my alarm will only play the default sound. I have erased all of my saved alarms, re-set and saved them all again and selected my alarm; yet still it plays the default which is a pretty awful alarm if I’m honest. Ive followed all the steps set out by a previous advisor on another thread. It seems this isn’t an isolated case and is happening to many. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Alarm only plays through earphones on iPhone 16, even when not worn with iOS 26 I sleep with earphones and noticed that after updating to iOS26, the alarm sound only comes through the earphones which is quite a problem as if I take them out during the night, but let them plugged into the phone (usb-c) or I just simply lose them when rolling from one side to the other, then I will not hear the alarm at all. I tested with multiple earphones, tried with bluetooth and wired as well, it always only comes through them, not the phone speakers. Is there a solution for this? I suspect it is not an intended feature. (I have an iPhone 16.) [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: iOS26 - alarm only sounds through earphones

Alarm selected tone / music not working Hey there? I’m not able to get any of my songs as alarm sound. It lets me set it up, but when the alarm goes off, keep getting the default alarm tone. I use an iPhone 14 pro. Anyone with the same issue? I installed latest iOS: iOS16.4.1(a) and I feel it started happening after the iOS update…

If you connect headphones to your iPhone, the alarm will play at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones.
