Alarm won't go off on my iPhone running iOS 18.5

iOS 18.5 (22F76)


every 10-14 days my alarms stop making noise.


the only remedy is to restart phone.


i've even set up an automation through the shortcut app that creates a note each day for the alarm.


on the mornings the alarms don't make a noise, they still "activate" as proven by the notes but they are completely silent.


this is a serious bug and needs attention

Agreed, I’ve noticed it too. You can do a bug report here: Product Feedback - Apple


Currently I’m using a third party Alarm clock app because unfortunately Apple’s alarm clock app isn’t reliable.

Thank you much for your information. I honestly did not even think of going to the app store for a third party app, but has this problem been a real headache for me. I have slept in, missed appointments (and incurred a $75 no-show fee), and more. Going to use the product feedback but just wanted to say your advice is very helpful (guessing that's why your ID shows 10K pts, lol)
