Apple acknowledged reliability issues with the iPhone’s built-in alarm feature after NBC reported in April. today The morning show said a fix is in the works, but some people are still having issues. android permissions This Reddit post from bryanlolwut on the r/iPhone subreddit on Wednesday is accompanied by a photo of an iPhone with the alarm set for 10:30, but the alarm goes off at 12:42 instead. This is the time displayed on your Apple Watch.
As of late Thursday, many Reddit users were still commenting on the thread saying they were experiencing similar issues.
“My morning alarm went off for 40 minutes with no sound or haptics,” said Slawek_Zupa. Another post said the alarm, which was supposed to go off at 7 a.m., went off at 5 p.m.
Reports in today’s thread include people still using iOS 17 and people who updated to iOS 18 through Apple Intelligence.
Some people say they tried to turn off Apple’s Attention Aware feature, which can lower the alarm volume when the iPhone detects your face. However, it doesn’t solve the problem for many people and you will lose features like seeing all notifications on the lock screen.
We asked Apple if they are still investigating this issue, but have not yet received a response. Personally, I’ve also found that my iPhone sometimes doesn’t make a sound or vibrate in the morning, but drops lifeless notifications as if it did. Luckily, I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro as a backup, which I use often, and I’ve also been trying Nintendo Alarmo, but my wife is so sick of Zelda yelling at Link that she wakes up.
