My alarms are going off late after 9.3

Since updating to iOS 9.3, any alarm I set is going off any time between 1 and 15 minutes late. Is this a known problem and can I do anything as I have been late for my final exams three days in a row now.


thanks, Jack

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3

I figured I'd add my voice to the chorus.
iOS 11.0.3, iPhone 6. This week my alarm was late twice: 4 minutes late on Monday, 6 minutes late on Wednesday. This is the same repeated weekday alarm that I haven't adjusted in months. Snooze option is off.

My first thought was "must be some weird DST bug", since the clock was adjusted last Sunday. But I couldn't find anything about it online, this thread is the closest I found.
I just did Settings / General / Reset / Reset All Settings, fingers crossed. And, I dusted off and set up my old alarm clock. It's sad that I can't trust my phone anymore :-(

I've been encountering this same issue with my IPhone now for approximately four months. Three software updates, and still no apparent fix.


I've removed/added new alarms, changed alarm tones, shut down and restarted by phone, and have reset my phone as well. Nothing seems to help. My alarm will go off anywhere from 1min to 15 minutes later than intended - it's extremely frustrating.


Judging by the posts here, I've seen no real success at solving the concern from other iPhone owners as well... anyone out there have any luck resolving the issue yet?

I also am having this problem and judging by the replies in this thread it seems to be a common issue.

A thread that, in over a year and half is only three pages long is not indicative of a common issue.


That doesn't mean that you are not having a problem. What it means is that it's unlikely that is caused by a bug in iOS.


What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

I am having this same problem after 10.3.3 update and on multiple alarms so yes it is affecting more than almost no one.

"Comparatively small number of people" (what I actually said) is not the same as "almost no one". What it means is, compared to the very huge number of people who own iPhones, the number having problems with their alarm is very small. The number of people having a problem could a thousand and still fit comfortably into that category.


It's also not certain that every alarm issue has the same root cause.
