Partner whats one of those 😂ðŸ˜.I'm glad they're making it an option, but I really love silent alarms. It wakes me up without waking up my partner.

Unfortunately its a huge issue, I can't feel the taps on my wrist and I will sleep through it.Wow didn’t realize this was an issue for some people. The silent taps are sufficient to wake me up every time.
Yeah it needs to sound on every device but I need to press stop on every device...I think if it's the same alarm going off on all devices, then stopping it on the watch will stop it on all devices. If you want to force yourself to get up to stop the sound, what you need is a separate alarm that can only be stopped from the other device(s), not the watch, as other posters have said they are doing now.
Honestly, even this still feels incomplete. It should have an option to set where after trying to wake you silently for (adjustable delay) it will then revert to making noise as well to attempt to wake you up.I'm glad they're making it an option, but I really love silent alarms.

Silenced devices have been ****ing up people's alarms for decades. No. You are wrong.No, it shouldn’t. I have my watch silenced because I wake up an hour before my wife. The haptic tapping is plenty sufficient to wake me up without needing a blaring alarm waking her up in the process.
Silenced devices should stay SILENCED.
THAT should be the default, but I’m fine with adding a toggle for those who prefer it otherwise.
Clearly the solution is to get different wrists.Unfortunately its a huge issue, I can't feel the taps on my wrist and I will sleep through it.
I've never had a scheduled alarm fail to go off on my iPhone, going back to my first, an iPhone 4. And if I'm wearing the watch and it is charged, it goes off on the Watch. Setting an alarm is easy and clear, for me - I use the bedtime display in the Clock app on my iPhone. Or, for arbitrary alarms, I can tell Siri to "set an alarm for 9am" (for instance). I've never had this fail either.So is it possible to think you have set an alarm only for it not to go off in the morning? I think it is and this is totally un acceptable. Setting alarm should be easy and clear.
if my phone switch is on silent will my alarm make a sound a) when scheduled via alarms app and b) when schduled via sleep focus mode ?I've never had a scheduled alarm fail to go off on my iPhone, going back to my first, an iPhone 4.

Yes, the alarm should make a sound even when the phone is on silent. There's a setting where you can set the volume of the alarm to be independent of the volume of other sounds the phone plays.if my phone switch is on silent will my alarm make a sound a) when scheduled via alarms app and b) when schduled via sleep focus mode ?
does the volume level setting have any effect on alarm ? i.e if my vol is a zero will alarm make a sound ?
So what you are saying is … it depends … on a setting somewhere that u only know exists? This is exactly my problem. I dont known if i have this setting set and whether my alarm will work or not. iOs alarms are a too complex and very un appleYes, the alarm should make a sound even when the phone is on silent.

I haven't personally confirmed that setting works as expected, I just know such a setting exists.
The reason I'm not very sure how well this setting works is that I don't use the alarm function very often. So I've seen the settings, but I haven't actually used them.So what you are saying is … it depends … on a setting somewhere that u only know exists? This is exactly my problem.

Ok yes this is a way to change the ring tone volume great. Still not sure about my alarm questions though. I mever use ios alarms because its too confusing.The reason I'm not very sure how well this setting works is that I don't use the alarm function very often.

The setting I'm thinking of is under Settings > Sounds & Haptics. There's a slider there to set the volume for the alarm sound. You also have the option of changing the volume with the volume buttons. If you turn this option on, I assume the alarm volume changes along with any other sound your phone makes, and if you turn it off, then the alarm sound is adjusted independent from the other sounds. However, I don't know that for sure because I've never tired turning this option on myself.
