Separate volume control for alarm and ringer

It there any way to control volume for alarm and ringer separately? I use max volume during the day in order not to miss calls and min volume at night so that alarm won't wake anybody. So I have to change volume twice a day - not very convenient.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

No, there's no way to do it! Personally, it's the most annoying thing about ANY Apple product, and makes me think that the top brass at Apple are either 1) so rich they have a butler wake them up each morning 2) they don't have an iPhone or 3) they sleep with their heads up their own ....


Seriously, is there one good reason why they would make it impossible to set the volume of the alarm??


They've reputedly just sold 500 million iPhones, and what percent would like to use the phone as a morning alarm? There's got to be at least 1 million people each and every week that get ****** off with this, so why wouldn't they change things ... It's insane, stupid or pathetic - take your pick

Is there a question in that grammatically-challenged sentence? If you're trying to give feedback to Apple, use the feedback link already provided.

I think it was an attempt at a pun...

Well, you know what they say about puns..... 😉

I'd like to ask that as well. Who is Chris CA? He has replied to many questions, but with no solutions. If you don't have the issue or any helpful advice, why are you wasting our time? I too get tired of having to,and forget to, change my ringer volume. I keep my ringer off at work due to meetings, etc. I need to volume up at night for my alarm. If I forget, no alarm. I always used my android for my alarm. I really wish Apple would fix this. And I use DND at night.

Not sure if someone else has posted already, but you can set this in Bedtime settings (once you have answered all the Nanny questions 🙂)

Yes, it has already been posted, by one of those people that Badtower chose to disparage. More than once, actually. Other solutions have been posted, also, in this 7 page thread.
