Sincerely, someone who is sick of having their alarm not work unless all their other apps are binging like crazy all night.
This was so trivial in Android, it’s laughable I still need think about what I need need to do for the alarms to work properly. Also always paranoid I’ll forget a step and miss an exam or something.
So, I don’t really know what’s going on, then. But unless vibrate and DND is turned off and the volume is all the way up, sometimes the alarm just doesn’t work and I have missed stuff before.
Android was really clear about this: there was just “no notifications”, “alarm only” and “all notifications”. I wish Apple would make a three state toggle like this and bundle it all together ..
(I understand that you’re trying to tell me that alarm should be working, but it just isn’t).
They fix is to reboot the phone.
I cannot trust it for critical alarms, so a simple device by the bed is required again.
I’m morbidly curious how many years you’ve suffered from this problem without googling it or mentioning it to another iPhone user!
