Alarm screen won’t get off my phone

I turn on my phone (iphone 15) and I see the typical alarm stop/snooze screen, but when I press “stop” or “snooze”, nothing happens. The alarm screen will not get off of my phone. I can’t even get into my phone. I’ve tried to shut it off and shut it back on, but that feature won’t even pop up when I hold down my top volume and power button.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Try and force restart the iPhone to see if the issues persist


  1. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button .
  2. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button .
  3. Press and hold the Side button .
  4. Release the Side button: when the Apple logo appears on the screen.
