iPhone alarm clock doesn't ring - that helps

1. Check the sound settings

First of all, make sure that the alarm volume is loud enough to wake you up. To do this, go to the iPhone settings and tap on " Sounds ". The slider under " Ringtones and advisory tones" should be set so loud that you can actually hear the alarm clock.

2. Alarm tone set?

If everything is right with the volume, you should see whether you have actually set an alarm tone. If you forget to select a tone, the alarm clock will remain silent. So go to your wake-up times and tap " Edit " in the top left . Then select the alarm time in question . If there is " none " next to " tone ", you still have to specify a ringtone. To do this, tap on the appropriate option, select a ringtone and then tap on " Back ". Finally, save your settings via " Save " in the top right corner..

5. Deactivate bedtime

If you have activated the iPhone function " bedtime ", you will only be woken up with the alarm clock set there. If another alarm clock falls during your "bedtime" it will not always start. So deactivate bedtime if you want to be woken up at a different time.

6. Do not disturb instead of silent

Sometimes the alarm clock does not go off when the iPhone is muted. To avoid this problem, you should use the do not disturb function . The quickest way to activate this is via the control center . From there, tap the moon . Afterwards, no more incoming messages will sound, but the alarm clock should still ring.
