If I use Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence text, and calls?

Actually Alarm will NOT sound. Tested today, by being late to work because of this. As far as I understand, the best workaround is to schedule the DND function to turn off right before the alarm.
Then there is something wrong with your device. I've done repeated tests on a variety of devices. The alarm sounds. You have to be using the built in Clock app.
Have you tried resetting your device? Force closing the Clock app? Have you made sure that the volume was turned up?
Best of luck.
If you use the clock app in IOS, it will sound even if DND is urned on. If you download an alarm clock app from the app store, it will NOT sound. An approach is to use the scheduled DND, and turn it off, say, 5 minutes before alarm time.
The real answer is: it depends. If you download and install an alarm app, such alarm 4 free from
Impala Studios, it will not override DND. I just tried it. But, if you use the clock app in IOS, it will override DND.
no, alarm sounds when in DND
what i meant is DND doesn't stop alarms

OK tested again, Alarm works fine. Disregard my above report. Not sure what happened the first time, maybe didn't set the alarm properly :-(
I've done that a time or two. 😉
Yes your alarm will still sound like normal if you activate the Do Not Disturb function as I just done a trial alarm before I sent my appropriate time :)

Yes, that's what I answered three years ago.
The alarm clock apps need a warning label.

Use the built in alarm. Make sure the volume is turned up and that your phone is plugged in. If you really want to be careful, use only the built in alarm tones, not your own music.
Ok, I did so let see it works for a test and for sure did it work for you
What do you mean tested it? Alarms will definitely go off with do not disturb on.
Using Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence calls, texts and notifications?
