iPhone
X and other iPhone 6/7/8 user are facing issue with iPhone alarm that alarm
does not ring every time. The alarm issue in iPhone is not regular and happens
randomly, making the reliability poor. This is apparently iOS 11 bug that mutes
your iPhone timers. When iPhone miss an alarm the screen will keep
showing the alarm screen with the alarm info. Alarm is going off (visible on
the screen) but no volume.The issue is even reported with iPhone X with iOS
11.2/iOS 11.3.
One
reddit user reported as :
"Set an alarm to wake up at 4:00am for
work and it didn’t actually ring until I was on break at 9:00."
iPhone
alarm doesn't go off is not a new issue in the iPhone as the issue was also
reported in the previous version of iOS 10. The alarm just misses to ring
randomly in iPhone. In case you try to set multiple alarms in the iPhone, the
first alarm usually works, but the second one fails randomly.
Users are missing
important work, meeting or schedules due to this bug and seem to be severe bug
in iPhone alarm system. It is quite sure that alarm ring randomly not goes off.
That’s a huge problem that needs to be addressed from Apple. Restarting the
iPhone can fix the issue but it is a temporary fix.
How to fix iPhone alarm doesn’t go off sometimes:
Fix 1: Don’t use
silent mode
The
problem is solved for many user making sure the phone is not switched to
vibrate/silent mode, as this seems to cause ringer going silent randomly for
alarm.
Fix 2: Change Sound
settings
You
may solve it by going to Settings-> Sound & Haptics and turning off
“Change with Buttons” and setting the Ringer and Alerts volume to max.
Fix 3: Bedtime
The
issue might have been caused by Bedtime and a regular alarm set at the same
time. Please change that and see if it works
