Why does this alarm keep ringing even though it is deleted?

A few months ago I set the 7AM alarm on my IPhone to ring every weekday. One day I pressed the switch in the alarm app to turn it off, but it still rang the next morning. I set it so that it is just a one time alarm and not supposed to ring every weekday but it still rang sometimes without being turned on. Recently I even deleted the 7AM alarm completely, but the stupid thing STILL wakes me up. It doesn't ring every weekday at 7, just on random weekdays. It is driving me crazy, does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to stop it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, julianne117!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I see that you're experiencing a random 7:00 AM alarm on your iPhone, despite having deleted the alarm in your Clock app. You should be able to control exactly when your alarms alert you. I am happy to help.

Do you think it might be a "Bedtime" alarm that's going off? Bedtime is a new feature introduced in iOS 10. Here's more info about it:

Track your bedtime

Bedtime in the Clock app can help you start a regular bedtime schedule. Set the amount of time you want to set aside for sleep each night and the Clock app can remind you to go to bed in time and sound an alarm to wake you up.

To set up Bedtime in the Clock app:

Open the Clock app and tap Bedtime.

Tap Get Started and answer a few questions, like how many hours of sleep you need each night and a time you need to wake up.

When you're finished, tap Save.

Use the Health app on your iPhone or iPod touch

Let us know how it goes.

Take care!
