Mine has sometimes been playing sound at the lowest possible volume instead of the normal loud alarm sound. I don't know if this counts, and it could be because it sees I'm already looking at my phone when the alarm goes off.
Got a tip for us?

Nothing a $12 physical alarm clock can’t fix.
IIRC iOS has always had problems with alarms not being 100% reliable, they tend to work great until they don’t. Thanks but I’ll still use a dedicated device.

This is just embarrassing
Something as simple as this? remember the calculator app issue ?!

If you are experiencing this problem, try turning off the Attention Awareness Feature. Settings > Face ID & Passcode > toggle off said feature. Please test and report back.
Maybe not directly related, but I find an Apple Watch is a wrinkle with audible notifications with the phone working in Standby mode. I have blood glucose alerts I rely on... Before Standby and iOS17, notifications would audibly hit my watch along with a vibration. With Standby it won't do that unless I also charge my watch at the same time, at which point it is a litany of every notification all night long audibly hitting the iphone every five minutes.
In order to have a blood glucose appear in near real time (every five minutes), you need to hack the use of complications on the watch by sending readings to iCloud calendar (because regular complications have a limit of how many times a day they can be refreshed), but that arbitrarily will fail at some point, and the only workaround is to restart the iPhone (restarting Apple Watch won't fix)
Standby mode is ridiculous. The clock and dynamic island are the only pieces that show in near real time. Calendar, and third party screens seem to refresh about every twenty to thirty minutes. In order to have dynamic island data not disappear, the app needs to be manually started and enabled every eight hours due to disabling the ability through shortcuts in 17.4.

This seems to be what's caused it in my case. I may test it out if I remember.
It is likely one cause for some because the phone sees your eye awareness it believes it's in your view so ignore the tone. This is also more possible with iPhone "alarm stands" like the article caption.
If one likes having this on regularly, just have the iPhone further away on the nightstand kind of things.
This is why I use a "traditional" alarm clock. I just don't trust the phone to get it right every time.
It just works!
It’s like magic!
And we think you’re going to get fired!

I've never had my alarm not go off. TikTok must be where idiots go to complain.![]()
Apple today said it is working on a fix for an iPhone software bug that has resulted in some alarms in the Clock app failing to play a sound at the set time for some users recently, according to NBC's Emilie Ikeda and The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern.

The issue was highlighted by the TODAY Show on NBC this morning after gaining traction on social media platforms like TikTok. It is unclear how many iPhone users have experienced this issue, but not everyone is affected. While some TikTok users allege that the iPhone's Attention Aware feature has contributed to the problem, Apple did not reveal a specific cause.
The promised fix could be included in a future software update, such as iOS 17.4.2 or iOS 17.5, but Apple did not provide a timeframe for a resolution.

I can't rely on my iPhone or Apple Watch for calendar and alarm stuff.
I have experienced way too many weirdness issues.
Sometimes it's difficult to have the Apple Watch display the TIME OF DAY! Ridiculous.
We travel between 2 homes - one in USA and one in Canada and different time zones and granted, one of the time zones is Saskatchewan, and the other is Arizona - maybe neither of them change for daylight savings time I do not really know - but the computers should know! - no matter how hard I try to make a calendar event a few months ahead for a particular time zone - by the time it comes up and I have travelled to the other location, I simply CANNOT depend on my calendar appointments. My fix is to write the time in the name of the event, and it's usually shown on the calendar one hour ahead or behind, almost randomly.
I have had quiet or silent alarms nearly causing me to sleep in to catch a flight. It is HORRIBLE.
Wake up Apple. You are one of the biggest companies, but can't seem to get solid time zones figured out?
It’s a health feature to ensure that you get enough sleep.
I’ve been wondering if I’ve been having sleep issues and sleeping right through some of them. Glad I have the millennial gene to set about 6 of them.
This is just working exactly like Apple's development tools. In Xcode errors sometimes pop up for no reason and sometimes the errors don't show at all.
I've had projects that compile and run, then with no changes, fail to run the next time because of compiler errors. Apple development tools are terrible these days and I'm pretty sure this leads to lots of problems in Apple's Apps.

By the way, it’s funny they are using ASP.NET.
iOS seems more like a hobby. It’s never finished and never works quite right. We need a GOOD competitor to get things going again. Also if the EU could come down of their power mad tirade causing these companies to re work their products, that would be nice! I just want to know where does all the money go from the millions in fines? Is there a forensic accounting?
