Alarm clock doesn't work

Since upgrading my phone to iOS 10 my clock app has stopped working. First i noticed that i couldn't set more than one alarm at a time; whenever I tried to set another the first one turned itself off. Then the one which remained set didn't go off in the morning.

Even though I have no alarms set the alarm clock-icon shows up in the right corner.

But it doesn't end here: yesterday I received my new iPhone 7. I hoped that my issue would go away but it didn't. I have tried to reset the phone and to reset the settings but nothing works.

Does anyone have the same issue or a solution?

iPhone 7, iOS 10, alarm clock

Same problem. Alarm shows it is set - no alarm sound OR vibration, just doesn't work. Here is what I have tried:

Leaving the alarm app open, doesn't work

Mute switch on or off doesn't help

Deleting all alarms and making new ones doesn't help

Changing alarm sound doesn't help

Having siri make the alarm doesn't help

Bedtime tab also doesn't alarm at set time

Turning Bedtime on or off, doesn't help

And Yes Apple Support and Genius Bar, just for good measure I have restored the iphone software TWICE - no help.

*** I have slept through the "alarm" three times this week. Need to go get an alarm clock since the alarm does not work in iOS 10.

Turn off the bedtime feature and your alarms will work. Just have to wait for a fix from apple.

Thanks...Tried that, did not work

Also, timer alarm does not work, counts down to zero and no alarm

turn on timer, go to alarms and they are all off, turn one on and the timer turns off

This is obviously a bug in the alarm app. Can't believe it was not picked up in beta

keep suggestions coming, willing to try anything

Yes I have the same problem with the timer also - I have watched it count down to zero but nothing happened.

Turged off the bedtime feature last week on my iPad but the alarm feature still does not work properly.

what steps have you taken? I think I removed all my old alatms and set up new ones after disabling the bedtime feature.
