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.

uri65,

I think i'm having the same trouble. I want my alarm to ring quietly- it doesn't take much to wake me up- and nothing worse than a blaring sound to jolt me out of bed. However, I want my phone calls to ring loudly. If I set the volume low at night for my alarm to ring quietly, I forget to set it back up in the morning and then I can't hear my phone ring with a call or text message.

I found a free app called Nightstand Central. I set the alarm and volume the way I want but it doesn't change my phone volume setting so I can leave that up (I don't have an issue with getting phone calls/texts at night). Yes, I'd like that functionality directly in my clock --> alarm settings in my phone but this is an ok work around and was free.

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.
