Apple faces a new alarm issue with iPhones and the company has got complaints from all corners in the last few days. These iPhone users have found it hard to wake up on time and getting late to work, which is a genuine excuse to tell your boss, but unlikely that he will accept it.
iPhones tend to have bugs but this is the first time we are seeing so many complaints about their iPhone alarm not going off, which means the issue is related to the Clock app on the iPhone. The affected users have talked about their iPhone alarm going silent or not activating for the time they have set it up.
Today Show called me last night and said iPhone alarms aren't working! I hadn't heard that but Apple confirmed this AM that it is aware of an issue causing some alarms not play a sound and that it's working on a fix.My iPhone alarm woke me up right on time at 6:50AM! Anyone out…

iPhone Alarm Issue: What Could Be The Reason?
Social forums Reddit are crowded with complaints about the iPhone alarm so it is clearly not an isolated issue. Apple admitting to the issue is definitely a good sign, as people can expect a quick fix for the problem, possibly with an out-of-turn iOS update that carries the answer to your iPhone alarm working again.
Having said that, the company has not said what could be the actual reason for the alarm conking off. Some curious minds have cited the attention awareness feature iPhones to be the culprit for why your alarm has not turned on this morning.
This feature basically considers when the iPhone is being used with parameters like if the volume is kept low, or the screen brightness is not dimmed. iPhone users get this feature enabled by default but they have the option to turn it off. It is likely that the alarm issue could be linked to this feature and the bug might be affecting the iPhone Clock app.
Apple is also working on giving you better control of iPhones when it goes for repair. The iOS 17.5 beta version has a new feature called repair state which will keep the Find My iPhone turned on even when you have given it for repair.
