iPhone Alarm Sound Not Working When I Wear my Watch

Not accurate.

all alarms from the first iphone to now are ‘breakthrough alarms’, meaning: the alarm app is the only app with the ability to set an alarm, which completely ignores the silent mode switch on the side of your iPhone. That switch is now and has always been irrelevant to this discussion. If Apple designed the Apple Watch in such a way that engaging the silent mode on your watch, secretly overrides and silences and nullifies the alarms that you have set on a completely separate device… end it did not provide a huge red banner, warning on the screens of the devices…

This is also happening to me on my brand new iPhone Max Pro. None of the stock suggestions is the case, everything is set to the proper settings and levels. Anyone have any new suggestions - I'm missing any alarm that is AFTER the first alarm which tends to go off, all subsequent alarms go off but are silent.

According to ChatGPT's answers, it gives a good, reasonable answer and gives many ways for you to try if something is wrong. Yes, in some ways, ChatGPT cannot be useful but I read through their answer to make sure it is reliable information.

Unfortunately, as you've given few answers of your own, we have no way of knowing how able you are to judge the information you're posting.

Are you saying the expected behavior is if I’m wearing my my watch to bed my morning alarms won’t sound? Because that’s what’s happening to me. If I don’t wear the watch, the phone’s alarms sound. Sleep is a bit different from the other focus types and when you use the health/sleep app to set a wake up time with an alarm, it should disable sleep at that time it sounds the alarm. Sleep turns off, but with no audible alarm.

“No, it has always been this way.”

It hasn’t. At some point in the recent past, the phone would sound the alarm and the watch would tap my wrist. I could end or snooze the alarm from either device. And what we’re saying is now, the phone isn’t sounding the alarm. We’re only getting taps on the watch.

I recently bought an Apple Watch and had the same issue happen. I have been trying different things to test what works and what doesn’t, and here is what I am trying for the next time my alarm goes off. I will reply with an update and report back how it goes!

In my iPhone settings, I go settings > focus > sleep and then from there I can edit what apps and people I can receive notifications from. I had no notifications on anything going through while sleep mode is on. When I click on the apps section, I ensure it is set to “allow notifications from” and then I tap “alarm” when I go to add the notification. I am hoping this helps! Updates to come.

The person to whom you are replying appears to be copying and pasting answers from ChatGPT. The accuracy of such answers is frequently less than one might like.

Just go to the Watch app then to NOTIFICATIONS, scroll down to MIRROR IPHONE ALERTS FROM and turn off your alarm clock app. Worked for me!

right my apple watch alarm keeps going off but i don’t know the password or i don’t know what phone i prepaid it with

This helped me. Thanks!

THANK YOU! This worked! :)

And if I fall and am injured when I get up in the middle of the night, what good will my Apple Watch be then?
