Alarm Does Not Play Through Wireless Headphones I have a pair of noise cancelling headphones WH-1000XM4 and i like to sleep with them on but i need to be able to wake up with my alarm and for some reason the alarm does not go through the headphones. i am aware that by default apple alarms are “supposed” to play the through the phone speakers AND the headphones, but for me it does not work, and the alarm only plays through my phone speakers. this doesn't entirely work for me cuz of the noise cancelling headphones and i have tried restarting my iphone and reconnecting to the headphones but it still did not fix my problem.

Alarm volume on iPhone when connected to Headphone I use my iPhone's alarm to wake up. I also use my iPhone with wired headphones (using the usb-c to jack adapter) in the evenings to listen to music and podcasts, and often fall asleep while doing so. When the alarm rings in the morning, while the headphones are plugged, it is VERY loud. This results in a lot of stress, elevated heart rate, and a very bad waking up experience. I am guessing this may be done on purpose, maybe "if you use headphones, the iPhone's speaker needs to be louder so you can hear it". But this makes little sense - instead, the alarm should just play both on the phone's speaker at a normal volume and in the headphones. Or maybe this is a bug. In any case, is this expected? is there any way to disable this behavior? Thank you. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

I have this issue too. I cannot believe Apple is not fixing this ASAP.

Messing with code that involves critical functions should have been tested and eliminated before release. There really is no excuse for this.
