I use thé alarm and timerfunction a lot and use thé Controlcenter for access.
With thé new update to 18.1.1 I can’t access the alarm without entering my password which is very frustrating.
Anyone know if this setting can be changed ?
(iPhone 12 Mini)

Same problem, on SE3. Definitely 18.1 iOS.
Irony is I can access the Timer functions via control centre and hence the Alarm indirectly without a password or touch control. So cant think of a valid reason why IOS doesn’t allow direct access to alarm. Seems like unintended outcome ie a bug.
Oh and for the record, same problem and same behaviour on iPad Air 5th gen on 18.1.1

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.
Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!
iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
See what each update does: About iOS 18 Updates, About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...
my intention was not to put blame on anyone or anything, just stating a fact that this occurred after the new update. I use the alarm and timer several times a day so I know for a fact that this has worked before and have made no changes to my settings.
My question was only if someone else has experienced this, and if there is a setting that could change this because I can’t find one.
Contact the App developer if you are referring to a third-part Alarm app.
