Why is my alarm volume lower than my ringtone on iPhone?

My alarm volume is too low . It is not loud enough to wake me. Yet my ring tone is turned all the way up? Help, please

iPhone alarm and ringtone volume decreasing automatically The alarm and ringtone volume lower by themselves all of a sudden. Even when manually taking it to a certain level, after a few days it goes to the minimum. This is really frustrating, as it’s not the first time this issue prevents me from hearing the alarm in the morning. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Alarm volume lowers itself

My ringtone volume keeps dropping to zero with the “change volume with buttons” setting turned OFF. Ever since I got my iPhone 13pro max new, every time I wake up to an alarm and use the volume buttons to hit “snooze”, the ringtone volume will drop bit by bit over the course of many weeks until it reaches zero. Now with ios26, it drops to zero within a day or two. I have always had the “change with buttons” setting turned to OFF but it has always done this. The time zone setting change mentioned in other answers to similar questions has not helped. My focus settings are all set correctly again per previous support answers with no positive change. It’s getting to where my alarms are no longer going off with volume at all. This bug or “feature” needs to be phased out ASAP.

iPhone alarm volume issue My phone only rings once at full volume. Subsequent rings, before I cancel, are at very low volume. Is there any fix for this.

You can set the alarm volume in the Alarm app, and the Ringtone volume from the Home screen. The two settings are independent of each other→How do the various iPhone volume controls… - Apple Community
