Recently, there have been several social media reports discussing a problem that prevents the iPhone alarm from working properly, leading to disruptions in daily routines.

Some individuals think that the issue is connected to the “Watch Detection Features” on Apple phones, which lowers notification volume when the user looks at their device.

This function doesn’t work properly when the user is focused on their mobile device, causing the system to lower the alarm volume while the user is asleep.

Solving the bug related to the alarm function has been a top priority for Apple due to the significant problems it has been causing users when trying to wake up for work or set reminders for important tasks.

Apple did not confirm if the issue was caused by the feature, but you can be cautious by turning off the option: simply navigate to “Settings > Face ID and Passcode”. Unfortunately, there is no indication of when the fix will be released.
