Several iPhone users have reported a concerning issue: their alarms are failing to sound as intended. Apple has identified this problem and is actively developing a solution.
Social media and online forums have seen a rise in complaints regarding the malfunctioning alarms over the past few weeks. Some users speculate that the culprit might be the iPhone’s “Attention Aware” feature. This feature automatically adjusts notification volume based on whether the user is looking at the phone. The concern is that Attention Aware might be malfunctioning, lowering the alarm volume even when the user is asleep.
While Apple hasn’t pinpointed the exact cause, a potential workaround exists. Users can navigate to the Settings app, select “Face ID & Passcode,” and disable Attention Aware. This temporary solution might prevent missed alarms until a permanent fix is implemented.
