In this video, I show you how to fix an iPhone alarm that’s silent or has volume that’s too low, so it actually wakes you up. I walk you through a few quick checks that solve the most common causes, starting right inside the alarm itself. The first thing I do is open the alarm you’re using and make sure a sound is actually selected—because if “None” is selected at the bottom, your alarm won’t make any sound at all. After that, I go into Settings > Sounds & Haptics and adjust the setting that actually controls alarm volume: Ringtone and Alerts. I also explain the “Change with Buttons” option and why I recommend turning it off so you don’t accidentally lower your alarm volume when you’re just trying to change media volume. If it’s still not loud enough, I show you how to check Volume Limit and make sure it’s turned off. Finally, I cover a setting that has fixed this for a lot of people: turning off Attention Aware Features under Face ID & Passcode, since it can reduce alarm and alert volume when it detects you looking at your phone.
