Alarm is not making any sound after iOS 18.3.2 update on my iPhone

After the latest iOS update, 18.3.2, my alarm no longer vibrates or emits any sound. I have tried to change the alarm, turn volume on, turn volume up, but nothing is working. Any ideas?

No that didn’t work this morning. Alarm
was going off but no vibration or sound from phone or watch.


If the alarm volume is too low or quiet


Do Not Disturb, the Ring/Silent switch, and Silent mode don't affect the alarm sound. If you use the Ring/Silent switch or Action button to turn on Silent mode or turn on Do Not Disturb, the alarm still sounds.

If you have an alarm that doesn't sound or is too quiet, or if your iPhone only vibrates, check the following:

  • Set the volume on your iPhone. If your alarm volume is too low or too loud, press the volume up or volume down button to adjust it. You can also go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag the slider under Ringtone and Alerts.
  • If your alarm only vibrates, make sure that your alarm sound isn't set to None. Open the Clock app, tap the Alarms tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.
  • If you connect headphones to your iPhone, the alarm plays at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones.
  • When you use StandBy, haptics for your alarms are disabled. To make sure that your alarm sound isn't set to None: open the Clock app, tap the Alarms tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.

Manually adjusting the time on your iPhone in Settings to change app behavior, like game timers, isn't recommended and can affect alarms.

Still no vibration or sound form either my watch or phone.


Thats funny. Please contact Apple Support for further assistance:



If you find a solution, do consider letting us know what it was. Thank you kindly!


Edit: The device still makes other sounds right? For example, text message notifications, and calls. Does the ringer and vibration (Haptics) work for those?

Yes it still allows sounds for other notifications. Just not sleep wake up. I have another iPhone for work, and the alarm works fine on that. The alarm function itself is working as it is waking the phone up and doing all the things it should except vibrate or make any sound, or notify my watch.
