Q: iOS 10 Bedtime reminder not working

I installed iOS 10 on my 6s Plus.  I set up a sleep schedule and set the reminder to remind me 15 minutes prior, but it never reminded me. The alarm went off in the morning though.   I changed the in bed time and set the reminder to 30 minutes, but still it didn't remind me. 

 

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

 

DND was enabled at the scheduled remind to go to sleep time. Would that keep the reminder from working at all?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.1, 128 GB AT&T

    Mine is working fine now since I updated to 10.0.2

     

    it might just require setting the wake and sleep times again

    Since a few days it started working for me. Don't remem if it was after the 10.0.2 update. I did change the sleep/wake settings a few times again.

    I have a new 7+ and had the same issue. I called Apple support. She had me change  from the five days chosen to having the alarm work on all 7 days and then change the reminder from the delay to at bedtime.  And other words immediate. And then we tested it. Suddenly the problem went away then I went back to my original days  and time delay and the problem was not there anymore. We'll see if that stays that way but it was fine last night.

     

    Now here's the funny part! When I brought this up to the customer service Apple rep, on the phone, it was the first call she took at this kind, and she suddenly realized her's  had never worked either LOL!   She truthfully had never thought about it, but  realize that she never saw the announcement and reminder jingle come up on her phone in advance of the alarm sleep cycle.  Just like mine! So she was experimenting as she consulted and gave me suggestions.

    Is there anyone from Apple watching this thread? Several people have the same issue including me. Is there a fix to this problem?

    Having the same issue. Seems to work if the settings are adjusted--the reminder time & the bed/wakeup times itself--but that's naturally not a full fix, seeing as you have to do that every day to get it to work. My alarm goes off in the morning & the sleep tracking works also.

     

    I find it odd that an Apple app of all things would be having issues pushing a time-based notification, that strikes me as elementary for any app.

     

    Edit: Running 10.0.2 btw.

    Here's the follow up. As I mentioned it worked fine after we toggled settings of my bedtime app. But last night, one day later, it did not work.

    See my postings too! Thanks for putting yours in! I couldn't understand why, after it worked fine the night before when I toggled my settings, it stopped working again the next night. If I'm having the same experience as you, then that means every day I have to toggle my settings to get it to work. It might be easier, to just set a recurring reminder LOL! I believe those are working fine LOL!

    I tried this and it worked for me. Basically I changed the alarm to all days and the reminder to "at bedtime". And then I changed the days to the days I wanted the alarm to go and also changed the reminder to "15 minutes before" so far it has reminded me since the past two days. Hopefully it keeps working.

    I tried this and it worked for me. Thanks! It's been working for the past two days let's see if it keeps working in the future.

    Update everybody: got to a senior level Support specialist; the issue is known, there is no current quick fix. It is a genuine bug. I'm going to be sending device logs to Support this week to help engineering collect more information to fix it in the next iOS update.

     

    I've tried all of the 'fixes' listed here btw, none seem to work more than a day for me. Part of the difficulty in testing this is that it always works the day it's adjusted, so any 'fix' seems to work at first. So, anyway, rest assured a solution is on its way.

    I installed iOS10 about a week and a half ago, and I thought the bedtime reminders were really cool. Mine also stopped working after a few days; specifically that will still give me a notification, but the chime does not sound. I am running 10.0.2 iPhone 6 Plus.

    I have the same problem too. I set up last Sunday and worked fine that night. Yesterday didn't work again... It's a pity because it's a really cool feature. It isn't esencial, but it's an interesting plus.

    The last couple of days I did an experiment. I set the time on my night shift to after the bedtime reminder, and the bedtime reminder time worked. Today I set my night shift time back to before the bedtime reminder and tonight the bedtime chime did not go off.

     

    I think Nightshift interferes with it for some weird reason. Could be a coincidence, and I am interested to hear what other people find.

    I think you cracked the case! Same setup as you, 10.0.2 6 Plus--manually disengaged Night Shift and my Bedtime notification worked fine. I've changed my Night Shift schedule to anticipate this, & I'm excited to see if it continues to work.

     

    While this obviously isn't a long-term solution, I'll pass this info on to the senior support specialist handling the case with me. Hopefully we'll get 10.0.3 quickly; I really liked having graduated plateaus heading toward sleep, starting with Night Shift, going into a half-hour Bedtime reminder, then killing notifications with Do Not Disturb.

     

    Soon!
