And they keep pushing OS updates and have not fixed it. I should’ve gotten a Samsung

The bug has nothing to do with the Attention Awareness setting, which has been a setting for years now (do turn it off though as it does lower the volume of the alarm clock considerably if you look at the screen while the alarm goes off!). I do happen to know what the issue is though: This bug even occurs if you have Attention Awareness turned off and occurs **whenever you set multiple alarms**, basically if you let the initial alarm ring and then don't press the Snooze button before the second alarm starts, that second alarm and any one past that will not make a sound whenever you finally hit the snooze button for the first one. It has happened for many months now and it has taken me months to figure it out because I'm always half asleep when it happens, I put in a ticket with Apple about a month or two about it though, good to hear they're working on it

Bro like wow, i have been experiencing this since like half a year now, always getting late for classes due to this thing, it keeps on vibrating but doesn't even play a bit of sound. This thing just hurts man!

I did have this issue when i was in UK recently when I live in the US. It was odd because it went off before but not the one day when i really needed it to.

This is why I’ve also got 2 ‘HomePod mini’ speakers (as stereo, idk if that even matters, at this point) at head height left and right of my bed. They’ve been working great.

This legit happened to me two weeks ago and my mom said it was an excuse so I showed her a bunch of articles and videos, and I even proved to her

Just had this problem earlier, now i know why. Thanks Greg

i reccomend turning your volume+ringer up all the way and switching ur silent switch off before sleeping so it will be loud enough

My alarms seem to go off like clockwork during waking hours, but the last few months (at least) I’ve been oversleeping so much that I’ve had to rely on family members, who I know are awake early, to call me on mornings I absolutely have to be awake by a certain early time. I thought it was due to my low ringer volume, so I turned on the “change [ringtone and alerts] volume with buttons” setting so I can quickly crank the system volume before I go to sleep, but even that didn’t seem to work. I chalked it up to turning the alarm off on my watch, either unknowingly or accidentally when I meant to snooze it, so I turned clock notifications off on my watch so I can’t accidentally brush the watch face and turn the alarm off or whatever was happening. When that still didn’t help, I thought for sure I was turning it off in my sleep, maybe fully asleep and turning it off or accidentally hitting ‘cancel’ when I meant to snooze it, so I set my phone out of reach of my bed. When that still did nothing, I considered it was maybe a bug with conflicting alarms, like one alarm going off and overlapping with the next alarm and the two canceling each other out, so I made a concerted effort to space alarms out to go off within the nine min snooze and outside of the nine min snooze to prevent two or more alarms from going off at the same time and still nothing…

that explains why sometimes my alarm just wouldn't go off at all, but when iOS 16.2 happened all alarm related bugs appeared to be fixed and that was the time that I had decided to stop updating my phone because I really didn't feel like letting apple change things that didn't need to be changed, so I did and have been on 16.2 ever since, but even with the insecurities and possible slow downs this would cause, I still find this the better path against letting it update and possibly creating more problems than they solve, the later features they add aren't really that exciting anyways so for me, it makes sense to take this path

This is why I use Alarmy. You get lots of customization on the app, and I have never had a bug where it didn’t wake me up (except for when Apple changed some policies, then it needed to update)

My iPhone alarms have not been working consistently since roughly 2017. There were many times where I would wake up to my phone being hung on the alarm screen for hours after the alarm was meant to go off with absolutely no audio whatsoever, blocking other notifications and phone calls. It has persisted across newer iPhone models and I can't see it stopping anytime soon.

Thank you for this video, i feel less alone now with people having the same issue as i do. Whenever i had an appointment in the next morning, i used to put a single alarm but it didn’t go off, resulting in not waking up on time So now i have to put several alarms with a 5 minutes interval in order to wake up right on time, i hope that Apple with fix this issue!

Thanks for informing us cause I missed class multiple times because of missing my alarm lol

I was so pissed.This is now common

There used to be a bug (at least I hope it wasn't intentional) where your alarms wouldn't go off if your iPhone updated. I personally still don't risk it and have updates set to manual instead of automatic.

A legit excuse for your boss if you’re late to work. Whoop!

I knew something was up. I use bedtime alarm and sometimes it never goes off. Been having this happen for quite awhile now and it made me late to work several times. I now run the bedtime alarm and a secondary normal alarm incase bedtime fails. I also turned off the feature that stops the alarm when you raise your phone. Can’t believe this is still an issue all these years later.

I think it’s a mix of the attention aware, as well as the silence feature when the phone is flipped upside down, covering the proximity censor.

As I do for having other devices with alarms, including my Neo Geo Pocket, Pokémon Mini, 3DS with Sleep Clock app and PSP with Talkman! (Talkman is a language translator app that also has a metric calculator and alarm clock!)

Also experiencing a volume issue and some alarms not going off, that explains a lot! 😣

Does it happen on Apple Watch too? Cause I use my Apple Watch as an alarm clock and have been doing so for years and not once have I encountered anything similar.

My alarm does always go off but for a few days in a row it didn't wake me up because it was silenced. It wasn't even silenced by the silence switch but in the sounds thingy in settings I had 'change with buttons' on so instead of lowering my volume it lowered my notification sound volume. Even off silent it wouldn't make noise but then I turned off the setting and turned my sound back up. That did fix it but I think it's stupid to even have that feature.

Funny, bc i set the recurring alarms with Health and Sleep Focus, and single use alarms too, and never had an issue on my 15 Pro running the latest Dev Beta (now updated to 17.5.1 as of today, but there might be a Beta tomorrow on the usual Apple Tuesday release cycle).

my roommate has been experiencing this too... well... man's gotten too good at sleeping through his alarm or turning em off at light speed

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one that’s experiencing this bug, I’m actually trying to find a third-party alarm app that’s accessible with voiceover.

I’m using an old iPhone 5 on iOS 6 for an alarm. I set it across my bedroom, so I also have to fully get up to turn the alarm off. Never had an issue for a year

Thank You for this! I really thought I was in deep sleep often so I didn't hear it.

Thank you so much!

This happened to me twice and made me very late for work. I have owned iPhones since 2008 and this had never happened before. I now use a backup physical alarm clock and will forever have trust issues with my phones alarm!

when i tell you my alarm went off when i saw the notification for this video! talk about perfect timing...

Yeah this happens to me every couple of years there is a period where the alarm just does make any sound/vibration at all. And even hours later there aren’t any notification or call sounds. After a couple of weeks of it sometimes happening it magically vanishes and everything works again.

I think it is issues with the attention aware thing as mentioned. In my case sometimes I'd be sleeping with it on its side overnight and it could be potentially pointing at my face and I think when the alarm went off, it saw my face and silenced itself.

Please make a video how apple made the day / night time changing photos from the iMac / MacBook! Are they real pictures shot in the morning, afternoon and night? Because the camera didn't move at all.

i know that this bug has been going on at least since winter season last year 2:10 it is/most likely the attention aware "feature" because when i turned it off my alarms would wake me up.

When they do fix it they should add an alarm ringer besides the regular phone ringer, why do they have to be the same volume? Android has had this for years I doubt it will come to the iPhone which is so frustrating.

This has been happening to me since my iPhone 5s. There are posts all over the web about it with users complaining about missing classes, military formations and more. Apple support whenever I call them about it: “Wow?! We’ve never heard of this before.”

⏰ my alarm has been working fine. 😅 I have noticed though that in the late evening sometimes notifications 📢 won’t sound, even though I do NOT have a don’t disturb set.

I thought I was getting used to my alarm sound again. This is making me question if I was “getting use” to the sound the first time now

Samsung phones had this exact same issue a couple years ago from my experience which they eventually fixed, and it's suprising iphones are also getting this bug now. Alarms seem like such a simple fearure 😅

Title of the video: why the alarm isn’t working…. The video: we don’t know why….

This has happened to me a couple times and substantially worsened my sleep because I’m always afraid that this time is going to be the .1% of times when it doesn’t work.

Yoooo! This got me in trouble at work! Apple should probably have a team that specifically checks for and fixes alarm bugs. This has been going on for way too long.

I bought two twin-bell alarm clocks, they work like a charm.

This has happened to me along with the speaker phone audio going silent after switching between applications while on the phone.

This literally happened to me this morning. My phone’s alarm never went off, but when I checked it was still on. My dad woke me up 15 minutes later.

That's why I have a backup alarm clock; I mean a real physical backup clock. When I use my phone as an alarm clock for work, the backup clock is set to go off 15 minutes later, just in case. If the phone wakes me up, I just turn off the backup clock. As a bonus feature, the backup clock has a physical alarm on/off switch and a physical alarm set indicator. Even though it is a radio controlled (the time is always accurate!) digital clock, you have to move a physical switch to turn on the alarm, and when you do, a red indicator is visible so you know for sure that the alarm is set. Moving this switch back is the only way to really turn off the alarm. You can just press the big alarm button on the top, but that is only a sleep button, so the alarm will be silent for 5 minutes before it goes off again. Only moving the physical switch back to the off position will actually turn off the alarm. The price of this alarm clock was about $25 and so far it has only gone off twice, but that means it has saved me from oversleeping twice.

I don't rely on phone alarms I mainly use a display alarm and I test it before I go to bed. Make sure the volume is way the way up (to the max if necessary.) Set the alarm when getting ready for bed, Washing face, brushing teeth, etc. and listen when the alarm goes on.

At least for me, I'm definitely affected by the attention aware, disabled it and my alarm works properly now (or i should say, it doesn't turn near to silent after the first few rings)

I got a CD player Alarm that plays a CD as my alarm. I ended up started collecting cds now, replacing both my alarm app and Spotify

I've had this issue since 2015. There will be times it's alarm is on the alarm screen, but no noise is coming from the iPhone. Been a thing for almost 10 years!

it also tends to not go off when youtube videos {sleep ambience) are playing

I’m expecting a similar issue with my recurring alarm. What are some reputable third party apps I can use? I’m Andrew.

I’ve dealt with this bug for years. After not waking up in time for things I built a habit of setting alarms on my watch, iphone, iPad and HomePod. Thats how you get the most out of the ecosystem, waking up to every apple product yelling at you. If one doesn’t go off the other will.

I've never had an iPhone but I've had several Samsung phones and all of them sometimes failed to sound the alarm. I'd get a "missed alarm" notification, which should be literally impossible since the alarm keeps going indefinitely until I turn it off. Very often the same thing happens when someone calls me (I'm talking like 25% failure rate, reproducible on multiple Samsung phones - it's bad). The last time I had a phone with an actual working alarm and working phone calls was a Nokia brick way back in the day.

I remember the jan 2 2011 one very clearly!!

Also if I want to have a song from Apple Music as my alarm song, it just plays the standard alarm sound instead of the song

Yep had this issue like a month ago

I upgraded to an iPhone 15 back in October of 2023 and my wife upgrade a couple months later. Both of us experience this bug constantly. It is so frustrating!

I added a billion automations to make my volume max and then i see this

I usually use the HomePod alarms at full volume. There’s no sleeping though that especially when the damn HomePod can’t hear you so you either have to yell or get up to silence

I can confirm that I have had this issue and every time it happens I have found my notifications volume turned down, and it did that on its own. I simply check the volume every night before bed now.

People drop a grand for a phone that cant set an alarm 💀

Bro, I’ve just used the sleep schedule feature in the health app and this has never been a problem for me??
