Alarm clock snooze function on IOS 8

So my phone worked beautifully though 8 iOS ... but after I updated to 10.2, now my beautiful habit of hitting the buttons to snooze doesn't work. Was late for work twice! I have a custom song so I'm scared to reset all settings if the custom song is the culprit. Not sure why this is happening 2-3 years later from the original post?

Interestingly, I have this issue but it works absolutely fine on my other half's phone which is also an iPhone 5 on iOS8.

I'm having the same problem, but it's with my iPad Air. Pressing the volume buttons used to snooze the alarm, but it doesn't now. It seems to just silence the alarms instead. If I flip up the Smart Cover though, the lockscreen says "Tap to snooze" and that does work, but I'm used to using the volume buttons. I was very late to work last Thursday as a result of this change.

One of the things I want to try is deleting all of my alarms and creating them anew.

Same issue on iPhone 6Plus.

I deleted all the alarms and rebooted my iPad Air twice. Then, I created a new alarm, and tested it. No change, unfortunately.

If you edit the alarm, there is a snooze option that I did not see before. On my 5s, the alarm that I had snooze turned off seems to be impossible to turn off. I literally had to shutdown and boot it back up to get it to stop. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I went into the clock app and turned the alarm off and it still kept going. Maybe check to make sure you have the snooze option on.

Hi!

Same problem here: when I try to snooze by pressing Volume up/down, alarm sound gets silent, but snooze countdown does not start.

On the display "to snooze press here" stays visible; when i press snooze on the display, snooze time (9 Minutes) starts.

(IPhone 5s after Update to ios8)

For me it looks like a bug ... 😟

(would be grat if repaired, as it is easy to forget reactivationg snooze, and therefore sleepinkt too long will happen some time ...)

having this same issue and talked to two different support staff on the phone. The last guy told me to get used to using the screen to snooze which I find not nice and unfair since I'm half asleep and have been doing it that ways for years.

I am having the same problem and completely disheartened about it right now. Also, and I'm sure this sounds silly, but when you hit snooze and open the phone, the alarm shuts off. Sometimes I would hit snooze, but wake up enough to check the weather and go back to sleep for a couple more snoozes. Now when I slide open the phone, the alarm never goes off again. PLEASE APPLE - FIX THIS! Why change this feature when NOTHING was wrong with it. Now I get to try and find another app to download now that another standard apple app blows.

That's VERY disheartening.. 😟

I just finished chatting with support and got the answer and everything works again! It's a pain in the arse because the update made it buggy, but go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset All Settings. Let it do it's thing, and the alarm works with snooze on the volume again!! Along with the other issue I stated about working!

Yea, it's a pain, but overall, having to reset my setting will allow me to learn about the new operating system even better! WOO HOO! So happy now!!!

Yea, I realize what it means and it is a pain. But it also keeps me in tune with the phone by having to go through everything. Since I already hate waking up by an alarm every morning, I'm happier to have the functionality back over having to reset my settings. It is disappointing yes, but overall I am relieved!!!

There is a way to fix it! See my answer!

I spoke with support yesterday and they told me to do the same thing, to reset all my settings, I did that but it did not help. Anyone else still having this problem?
