clock app not working in ios 18

ME TOO! I woke up an hour after my alarm and was late to work after updating. The notification was on my screen, but it never actually made a sound.

also to note, this has happened to me every time I update and then gets fixed a couple weeks after. It’s super weird and it cost me a hectic morning or two.

I have found a workaround for this. Turn off standby mode. I was late to work 3 days in a row, and being a computer programmer, I broke down the whole system and figured out that if standby mode is enabled, then it can put the phone into a resting state that will disable cell phone sounds completely until your phone detects motion. Well being you are sleeping, you don’t move around much so after your phone sits idle for a designated amount of time, it will go completely quiet as to not disturb your sleep. Turn standby mode off completely and your phone will start working again. You may not get the cool standby screen when your phone is charging anymore, but it will fix this issue.

I bought myself an analog backup alarm from Amazon. At least that won’t turn on me. Geez.

My alarm does work but when I select skip the night before, it still wakes me at the regular time. The first time I thought I must not have made contact with it when selecting but it happened again this morning.
