My alarm has recently started blasting on high for no reason. I keep turning the volume back down in settings and I have the button switched “off” that says to control the alarm sound with buttons. Is this a bug in the latest update?

Hey krglopez,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To see if fresh settings help, delete your alarms and create a new alarm, then test to see if the behavior continues. Here's a great guide with both steps: How to set and change alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support
How to delete an alarm
1. Swipe left over the alarm and tap Delete.
2. Tap Edit, tap the Delete button, then tap Delete.
3. Tap Edit, tap the alarm, then tap Delete Alarm.
How to set an alarm
1. Open the Clock app, then tap the Alarm tab.
2. Tap the Add button.
3. Set a time for the alarm. You can also choose one of these options:
• Repeat: Tap to set up a recurring alarm.
• Label: Tap to name your alarm.
• Sound: Tap to pick a sound that plays when the alarm sounds.
• Snooze: Turn on to see a Snooze option when the alarm sounds.
4. Tap Save.
In addition to the above steps, make sure your software is fully updated. You don't mention which software version you have installed, but the current version is IOS 16.3. To see what you have installed, tap Settings > General > About. If an update is needed, be sure to back up first. Both steps can be found here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Keep us posted on the results.
Take care!
