I just upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro from an 11 Pro. From the first day I had the 11, there was an unexplained alarm at 6:30am that went off each morning. It appeared at 6:30 like it was in the clock app. However, it didn’t appear in the set alarms in the clock app, and not in any other apps that I could find. When I upgraded, the setting transferred to the 14, so I still have this unexplained alarm at 6:30am.
Any suggestions?

It could be the Sleep/Wake Up alarm that is activated. The alarm is connected to the Health app, and can also be activated by the Sleep Focus profile.
If you do not want the alarm to ring, you can delete it from the Health app.
Open Clock App → Select Alarm at the bottom → Tap Change → Tap Edit Sleep Schedule in Health → Tap Edit in Full Schedule → Scroll down and tap Delete Schedule → then disable Sleep Schedule.
Also see if your Sleep Focus profile is set to activate automatically here:
Settings → Focus → Sleep → find SET A SCHEDULE → Tap into the time → tap Delete Schedule or just deactivate.

Try opening the Shortcuts app and tap on Automation in the bottom center menu.
Do you have some kind of automation that starts an alarm there. If so, delete it. I just tried to create an automation that starts an alarm, and that alarm does NOT appear in the clock app. So that could possibly be the reason.
Here’s the screenshot from this morning indicating it’s an alarm in the Clock app. I’ve also checked the Timers in the Clock app, and there are none that would go off at 6:30am.
Okay, so I would recommend contacting Apple Support. They can help you more easily as they can have access to see your screen while you are speaking. I'm out of ideas.

Apple Support said it’s a glitch and to reset the phone as a new phone to avoid the setting coming back over in a backup.
Thanks for the reply.
I followed your instructions and checked in both Health and Focus, and there was no sleep schedule or alarm set in either one.
Okay. When you got the alarm, how could you tell it was from the Clock app? I think it might also be a Timer. Do you still get an Alarm at 6:30?
Nothing there either.
Will do.
I also deleted and reinstalled the Clock app. Alarm still went at 6:30am.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome. Good luck.
