Q: My alarms are going off late after 9.3

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Then restart your iPhone and try an alarm.

* No data is lost due to a reset

Hello,

I am having the same issue since my update to iOS 9.3. Did you find a fix?

For example I set my alarm to go off at 7:20 and it went off at 7:45 the morning just after the update and today it went off at 7:24 (while still being setup to go off at 7:20).

Some people are also having this issue on @AppleSupport twitter feed. I guess there's one again a bug with such a basic feature. My bet on the new Night Shift feature too (I didn't use it by the way nor programmed it).

I am having the same issue.  I travel a lot and it is a total bummer that I can't trust my iPhone to be my alarm

II've noticed this exact same issue the pat few days and the first day I thought I hit snooze. However, this was hard to believe since I'm an extremely light sleeper. It happened every day this week and I have no idea why. Only after the update. Please fix this issue.   I was almost late for work twice.

I've used my iPhone as my only alarm clock for about 4 years. My iPhone 6 with iOS 9.3.2 is not having this problem. I don't think it's a bug with the system software itself. Occasionally, recurring alarms seem to get corrupted, especially by updates.The first thing I would do is delete all of your alarms and re-add them.

Deleting the alarms doesn't work. It has to be a software bug that's the only explanation. I'm an extremely light sleeper as well, and I have been noticing this problem as well. Luckily it hasn't caused me to be late or anything, but Apple needs to fix it. Had an alarm set for 5 am and phone went off at 5:13. Had another set for 6:30 went off at 6:35. No rhyme or reason.

There other explanation is that there is something wrong with your phone, especially as this problem seems to affect almost no one.

So, the easiest troubleshooting step didn't work. The next one would be to reset all settings. After that, restore from a back up and restore as new.

I had this problem this morning for the first time ever using an iPhone. I had 2 alarms set, 6:55 and 7am. The first one went off at 6:57.

So, time to try the troubleshooting steps already given in this thread.

Do you have a life, Meg? None of us are idiots. We are pointing out a problem with the phone. Your comments are not helpful. You're clearly just after "Apple points." Y'all back up ... She's a level 9!!

The only person who can give me points is the Original Poster. That seems unlikely at this point.

How did the troubleshooting steps work for you? I notice you didn't post back.

I was just posting to point out the fact that I was having this problem, so it's not just 1 or 2 people, it's creating issues for others as well. But thank you for mentioning it.
