If your iPhone alarm is not ringing despite you remembering that you set it or have set its frequency to your preferred schedule, you are not alone.
This new iPhone alarm issue was confirmed to be a bug. Reports claim that Apple has already acknowledged the problem and is trying to work on a fix after many users complained about it online.
Is the iPhone Alarm Not Ringing? It is a Bug
Social media users have shared that their iPhones' alarms are not ringing, leading to them not waking up at their preferred or needed time. Many attest that this is a bug that iPhone users suffer from.
According to The Verge, many users say this is a bug, and many are baffled by this issue, sharing different hacks on how to get the iPhone's alarm to wake them up again.
Users wake up with their iPhones showing an alarm notice, but there are no sounds, calling this bug the silent alarm triggering when it was set.
For now, there are certain suggestions for getting the iPhone alarms to go off.
One is to go to Settings > Sound & Haptics and ensure that the ringer volume is turned up. Moreover, it is also worth considering turning off 'Change with Buttons' to avoid turning down the ringer.
Apple Working on iPhone Alarm Fix
As confirmed by TODAY's morning show earlier, Apple is already working on fixing this iPhone alarm bug that has led to users being late or waking up way past their set schedules.
There are still no responses or statements from Apple behind this, but it was reported that this is not the first iOS saw issues with iPhone alarms not going off or being silently triggered.
Apple's iPhone and Bugs
Bugs on systems are uncommon, and despite Apple being regarded as a company with significant developments, it is not safe or immune from them.
While Apple immediately addresses some, some take time to be recognized and be given a fix with the following software update, with one example centering on an iPhone seeing a 'No Service' bug for cell network connections.
On a more serious note, some bugs threaten users' privacy and security, and the iPhone has also suffered from this.
Notably, this is with iOS 16.2's tracking bug, in which a blogger revealed that their location was shared with a Brazilian food corporation despite not allowing it to use this information, one that can be answered by restarting the device or upgrading to iOS 16.3.
Occasionally, bugs appear on operating systems, firmware, apps, or devices. The iPhone is known for having its fair share of bugs in its systems for different releases.
That being said, this latest bug is annoying, as it could lead users to be late for important events as their device does not wake them up, and many are not considering the explanation that their alarm "didn't go off."
