Apple is working quickly to fix a glitch that caused some iPhone alarms not to sound, giving users an unexpected lie-in. For many, the phone serves as a vital alarm clock, and some frustrated late risers took to social media to complain.
One TikTok user mentioned setting “like five alarms,” which all failed to go off. Apple has acknowledged the issue, but hasn’t provided details on the cause or immediate solutions. It’s also unclear how many users are affected or if the issue is limited to specific iPhone models.
In the meantime, users can try to avoid oversleeping by double-checking alarm settings and ensuring the phone’s volume is turned up. Some suggest the problem might be linked to Apple’s “attention aware features,” available on iPhone X or later models, and certain iPad Pro devices. These features allow the phone to detect if someone is looking at it, potentially lowering alert volumes, including alarms.
To prevent alarms from being silenced, users can disable attention aware features or rely on a classic alarm clock until Apple resolves the issue. Apple has assured users it is working on a fix, but for now, users might need to look into alternatives to ensure they wake up on time.
