"this is a bug that then got solved on 2nd of january."


Obviously not or else i would not be writing this.


"just set your allarm clock with all the days of the week checked (v) and it will work again."


What is the use of setting my alarms for every day if i only need them on certain days?



I dont mean to sound un appreciative of your response but it has not really been of any help to me sorry.


Thanks for trying :-(

You're right. They fixed this problem at the beginning of the year and it's just come back again with the latest OS update. For the past few months the alarm clock has been turning my phone on, and now suddenly it doesn't turn my phone on. Even if I tick every day as a repeat alarm it doesn't work like it did earlier this year as a workaround until Apple fixed the bug. There doesn't seem to be anything else on here about it yet. Does Apple acknowledge the bug yet???

Get the app Alarmed. I am not promoting Alarmed there may be other alternatives that will work also. I had the same issue with the built in one. Alarmed has not failed me yet. I first tried Alarm Clock Pro, which was the same issue as Apples joke of an alarm program. With Alarmed running in the background it will always work, at least from my experience. I have a folder named "Trash" with many of the ios included applications, which is just what they are.
