You can no longer trust the iPhone alarm

I have been doing an internship at Amayzine for about 1.5 weeks now and today my biggest nightmare has come true. I travel from a small village near Eindhoven to the Amayzine office and normally I get up around 6:00 to arrive on time. This morning I was woken up by my little sister... at half past 7. 'Uuuuh Keesje, weren't you supposed to go to Amsterdam today?'. -Yes, I slept through my alarm. At least, that's what I thought. Have you ever heard of the.
Wat?
iPhone alarm bug ? Multiple iPhone users are experiencing alarms that do not go off or go off too late. Last April, iPhone users already complained en masse about problems with the alarm function. Apple promised at that time to work on a solution, but even now, many people are still affected.On TikTok, there are people who claim to have solutions for the problem. If you, like me, have experienced this issue or want to prevent your alarm from not going off, then you could try these things to solve the problem:.
Possible solutions
Partially disable the 'Face ID attention detection'. This feature is there to check if you are looking at your screen, so that the sound of notifications can be muted and the screen is not dimmed unnecessarily. However, if you have this feature enabled, it could be that the iPhone automatically does this by turning off your alarm sound.
- You could also update your iPhone. Are you still on iOS 17? Then it might be time to update your phone to iOS 18. ‘Solutions’ that Apple is working on are applied when you run an update, so you might want to do this just to be safe.
- On Apple's website, it states that a problem with your alarm not going off could also be the standby function that is enabled. This is a feature that allows you to place your phone as a sort of photo frame next to your bed. So make sure to turn this off as well, just to be safe.
- Well, end of the iPhone alarm drama,.
hopefully, . If you are now thinking 'This won't happen to me,' still pay attention and adjust the settings, because we all know that going to work in your pajamas is not at the top of our to-do list.. Image: @Dixie D’Amelio.
