Bunch of alarms don't sound on my iPhone 12

Not in do not disturb. Not in airplane mode. But a bunch of alarms don't sound. When I use the virtural keyboard the sound feedback to keypresses is gone. Yet I know my speakers are find. I can hear podcasts, make phone calls.

SravanKrA lists quite a few things to check. I would also suggest also trying the simple things:


  1. Delete all alarms
  2. Restart the iPhone
  3. Create a new alarm for a few minutes from now as a test
  4. If the test alarm works, reset other alarms that are needed


I recommend using a default iPhone sound when testing and not something custom.

Check this, first.


Or Use and customize the Action button on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)




Then please check the following.



Notification Preview when Screen is Locked, Notification Alerts, Notification OFF, and much more...


  1. To get Notifications when the Screen is locked see the pic below which is self-explanatory
  2. To turn ON notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Scroll Down to the App and turn ON notifications... Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)
  3. Some apps have their own notification settings over and above the iOS notification settings: An example of Instagram Notification settings is given below
  4. Help for Notification Alerts --> No Notification Alerts - Apple Community
  5. For VIP email Alerts refer to the pic below
