Alarm is not working on my iPhone 16 with iOS 18

6 AM no alarm from phone. No sound from Apple Watch either. Brand new apple 16 with update 18.


get your crap together, I bought this phone because for some reason the 12 started doing it. Sound can be all the way up, not silenced and still nothing. Since obviously it’s NOT US but a glitch in your coding, fix it. PS it started with your 16 update.

You seem to have missed my point. No one who writes code for the iPhone is reading here. This is a user-to-user forum. If you actually want Apple to know your concerns, use the feedback page. If this is just performative complaining, well, everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.

The first thing I recommend is that you delete all of your alarms and add them back. Also, update to iOS 18.3.

It's is not my coding or the coding of anyone else reading here. If you want Apple to know your thoughts, you can leave feedback here:


Product Feedback - Apple


And, based on the fact that millions of people use their phones as alarm clocks without issue, I suspect it not a pervasive issue.

I shouldn’t have to constantly delete and reprogram an alarm, that I hadn’t had to do that to for years. It’s seriously just since the 16 update that my phone (s) have been doing this. Also it’s only the 6AM alarms. The 4 pm alarm works everyday no issues. Just the ones tabbed m-f

I wasn't suggesting "constantly." I was suggesting you do it once and test it. Hyperbole is rarely useful in a technical support forum.


Also, make sure that you update your phone to iOS 18.3.
