Nearly a year later, users report iPhone alarms failing to go off on time.

Introduction

Apple’s iPhone alarm system, a critical feature for many users, continues to face reliability issues. Reports of alarms failing to activate or going off at incorrect times have resurfaced, even after Apple acknowledged the problem in April 2024 and promised a fix. Users across various iOS versions, including iOS 17 and iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence, are still experiencing disruptions.

The Ongoing Issue

The problem manifests in different ways:

Delayed or Mistimed Alarms: Alarms going off hours after their scheduled time.
Silent Alarms: Notifications appear, but no sound or vibration accompanies them.

Some users speculate that Apple’s Attention Awareness Features, which lower alarm volume when a face is detected, might contribute to the issue. However, turning off this feature hasn’t resolved the problem universally.

Community Reactions

Reddit threads are buzzing with complaints. For instance, a user shared an image of an alarm set for 10:30 AM that activated at 12:42 PM. Others report alarms failing to sound altogether or behaving erratically, despite updates.

A frustrated user noted:

“My alarm went off silently for 40 minutes, leaving me late for work.”

Apple’s Silence

Despite requests for comment, Apple has yet to provide an update on its investigation or potential fixes.

ConclusionFor now, users facing alarm issues are turning to alternative solutions, such as third-party alarm apps or secondary devices like Android phones. While Apple’s iPhones boast cutting-edge technology, these persistent alarm problems highlight a glaring flaw in everyday reliability.
