This has happened to me twice in the last few weeks. Luckily I wake up early naturally. About 30 minutes after my alarm was supposed to go off I’d be using the phone and I’d get a drop-down notification about my alarm that was supposed to go off 30 minutes ago but no sound…

I thought I was nuts for allowing my compulsions to require me to set an actual plug-in alarm with battery backup *in addition* to my iPhone alarm but yeah thanks for validating my insecurities…

Great they are admitting it’s a bug. I just assumed I was being gaslighted…

This has happened to me a few times in the last few years, tried to search for an answer but only a couple posts in the Apple forum with the typical replies of “try restarting phone”, generic descriptions of how to set an alarm, and otherwise denying that there was an issue. Still wish they would allow me to choose my snooze time instead of deciding for me that I can only snooze for 9 minutes at a time…
