Waking up to silence when you expected a jarring alarm? An iPhone alarm not going off is a frustratingly common problem. But don't despair! Here's a quick troubleshooting guide:
First, **check the obvious:** Is the volume up? Sometimes it's accidentally muted. Ensure 'Change with Buttons' is disabled in Settings > Sounds & Haptics if you don't want volume buttons affecting your alarm volume.
Next, **verify the alarm settings:** Double-check the time, repetition, and sound. Is the correct alarm selected? Is Do Not Disturb or Sleep Focus active? These can silence alarms.
**Still silent?** Try these:
* **Restart your iPhone:** A simple reboot can resolve minor glitches.
* **Update iOS:** Outdated software might cause issues.
* **Check for third-party interference:** Some apps can conflict with alarms. Try deleting recently installed apps.
If all else fails, consider restoring your iPhone to factory settings (backup first!). Hopefully, one of these solutions will get your alarm back on track and you waking up on time!
