Barbara, you should have mentioned that you use Reminders because a Reminder is just that, a reminder and it's not an alarm so it makes total sense that reminders are silenced by whatever focus you have on. If you use an actual alarm I can almost guaranty that you will not have this issue. It's also super easy to set alarms with Siri and if you want to delete them using Siri. For example, I can say "Hey Siri, set my alarm for 7 AM" and it's done and if I decide I don't want it any more I can say "Hey Siri, delete my 7 AM alarm". If I change my mind and want it to go at 6:30 instead I just say "Hey Siri, change my 7 AM alarm to 6:30 AM". If you end up with a bunch of alarms and you just want to get rid of them all and start new just say "Hey Siri, delete all my alarms".

It also should be noted that I usually use the Reminders app for my alarms rather than the clock so that may make a difference to have you try the Reminders with do not disturb being on with the iOS 18.3 On Feb 15, 2025, at 1:07 PM, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Well, if you are using the older device with the old iOS that may be the case. I just did a test on my 16 pro running iOS 18.3.1 and turned on do not disturb and set an alarm for 10 AM. At 10 AM, the alarm went off, so no difference than if do not disturb was off.

All other newer articles I have seen confirm that neither Do Not Disturb nor the Sleep Focus should affect your alarm and neither should Airplane Mode or the mute switch/button. All of these articles refer to the native alarm and one article mentioned that third party alarms may be affected if a focus like Do Not Disturb or Sleep is turned on.

If this was any different it would totally defeat the purpose of an alarm.

I woke up at 6:45 and the alarm said it was going off (I had to hit “stop” to turn it off) but there was no sound. I think this might have happened to me once before, just recently. Is there some new setting or something, or why would this happen? Has it happened to anyone else? Thanks, Brandon -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
