- iPhone alarms fail to ring for some users, leaving them late.
- Apple is aware and working on a fix, but the cause is unknown.
- Some users say disabling “attention-aware features” might help.
Apple has stated that it is trying to resolve an issue that is causing some iPhone alarms to fail to ring, following reports on social media from customers who overslept.
Many iPhone users prefer to wake up with the alarm, which is included in the device’s Clock app.
However, in recent days, many iPhone users have claimed that their alarms did not go off, leaving them late for work and school.
Apple has acknowledged that it is aware of the problem and is trying to resolve it immediately.
It is unknown how many individuals have been affected, what is causing the problem, or what consumers may do to fix it.
It has also not been determined whether the fault is limited to specific iPhone models or versions of the iOS software.
Some social media users have suggested that turning off the iPhone’s “attention aware features” has helped them solve the problem; when enabled, this tool checks whether a person is paying attention to their device and, if so, automatically adjusts some settings, such as lowering the volume of alerts or alarms.
Users are also advised to double-check their alarms before going to bed, ensuring that they are properly set and that the volume is turned up.
