So let me understand.

You set an alarm for 7 am. The alarm doesn’t go off every day at 7 am?

I use (manual) sleep focus with an Apple Watch. Alarm goes off on my 13 and my AW every morning without fail.

Correct. It could be all 4 alarms even that ive set. I set it the evening before, confirm it is on and a tone is selected, all that. I wake up, the "alarm" is going off but no noise, and the only reason i say it is going off is that on screen it is saying so "gives that alarm going off do you want to snooze it " screen. No noise, and not even vibrating i dont believe even.

So when you say sleep focus, what do you mean you use a manual one? You have a DND type of sleep focus on during the evening and is that tied to the alarm?

Just the default sleep focus it comes with. Same as dnd but specifically sleep. But that has nothing to do with an alarm not working.

Do other alarms work? Like set an alarm on your phone for two minutes from now and set your phone aside.

When tested now, it does indeed go off without issue. Thats always been the case though.

And this is even with a focus on (sleep and dnd both had alarm go off without issue).

For me the alarm on the iPhone is still inconsistent but thankfully it rings on my Apple Watch which IS consistent. I haven't had issues with the alarm on my AW, but if I left iPhone and only iPhone I feel like I've had issues myself with that.

Both sleep focus and regular alarms (I use both as I wake up way too slow) work fine with the watch. But I feel like if I didn't have it I 100% WOULD miss alarms.

Just weird! I’ve never had this happen on any previous iPhone, Apple Watch or combo of the two. An alarm goes off on my phone, it rings on both phone and watch every time.

It really sucks this doesn’t happen for everyone, seems like an easily diagnosable issue for Apple to fix!

Of course, I’m old-school and always have a clock radio as a backup anyway. :) But the phone hasn’t failed me yet!
