So for the longest time now, it seems like the iPhone alarm clock isn’t working the way it should. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I wake up and look at my phone only to look at the time and realize I’m super late waking up. The display on the screen looks normal, as if an alarm was going off, with the cancel and snooze buttons and all, but there’s no alarm sound coming out of my iPhone whatsoever. And then other times it works like normal.
I tried to contact Apple support about this but per usual they try to give you a run around of things to do that won’t work, which I know would eventually lead to them suggesting doing a factory restore (which I had to do a month ago anyway due to a different HUGE issue all together, and even that didn’t resolve this alarm issue). They also ask you to do stupid stuff like see if do not disturb is turned on (which shouldn’t matter anyway because do not disturb is not supposed to have any impact on alarms) I’ve become so paranoid about the iPhones alarms lately that now I’ll set like 5 alarms and I’ll STILL wake up to my iPhone not making any sound.
That’s why I’m coming to the community for help because more often than not they’re more helpful than Apple customer support.
I’m about to just order a new regular alarm clock for my night stand. I just wish I wouldn’t have to do this when we spend so much money for Apple products. You’d think at the very least they could have their alarm clock working without issue on their phones.
Has anyone else experienced these problems with iPhone alarms before, and were you able to find a solution? Any help or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks everyone!
