Well, apparently, Apple is adding to that anxiety as many users are claiming their iPhone alarm apps are inaudible. <\/p>\n<p>Brett Chody is one of those frustrated users who missed an early flight due to a \u201csilent alarm.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She took to TikTok to warn others, only to find out just how common this annoying problem is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to make a PSA. I missed my original flight to Chicago this morning because I set an alarm on my iPhone in the alarm app from Apple and it went off, but silently. I woke up at 6:30am on my own \u2014 my flight had taken off. I picked up my phone and it said alarm going off but it was dead silent. It had been going off for 2 hours,\u201d Chody explained in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@brettsbites\/video\/7582011092239518989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">video with over 2 million views<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:1.49926794;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"37926772\" width=\"885\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/american-airlines-airplane-takes-off-116144608.jpg\" alt=\"An American Airlines plane takes off from LaGuardia Airport over a body of water, with the air traffic control tower and airport terminals visible.\" class=\"wp-image-37926772\"  \/>The traveler claimed she missed her early morning flight due to her silent alarm.  REUTERS<\/p>\n<p>She explained in her video how she also took to Instagram to air out her grievances \u2014 which made her antennas go up after close \u201c100 people swiped up, maybe more, and were like, this happened to me. \u2018I missed an exam, I missed a shift, I missed my first day of work. It\u2019s been happening to me so much on my iPhone.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And based on the thousands of comments under Chody\u2019s video, this is a common issue. \u201cI KNEW I WASNT CRAZY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy phone does this it\u2019s so crazy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I set incremental alarms for an entire hour. One every 10 min.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:0.46191406;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"37926770\" width=\"273\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/discussions-apple-com-thread-8391156-117326646.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone alarm screen displaying the time 7:48, &quot;Alarm&quot;, &quot;Snooze&quot; and &quot;Stop&quot; buttons.\" class=\"wp-image-37926770\"  \/>Thousands chimed in under Chody\u2019s video claiming they\u2019ve experienced the same issue.  Apple<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo literally I\u2019ll hit snooze and it won\u2019t go off again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the cause of this frustrating problem is due to the Attention Aware Features\u00a0in Face ID settings being enabled, which automatically lowers your phone\u2019s volume when a user is looking at the screen, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/8011297?sortBy=rank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Apple discussion thread<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the feature turns alarm to silent as soon as I move it or it recognizes my face ID,\u201d one Apple user wrote in the thread, \u201cWhen I turned the feature off, alarm started working as normal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t seem to be the only issue Apple fans are up in arms about.<\/p>\n<p>Those who use a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/03\/tech\/apple-designates-popular-iphone-model-obsolete-leaving-furious-users-without-support\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first-generation iPhone SE <\/a>might have to consider their upgrade options as the 2016 budget-friendly smartphone will no longer be eligible for repairs or service by Apple or third-party vendors, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/12\/01\/first-generation-iphone-se-obsolete\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MacRumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The device was discontinued in 2018 and per <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/102772\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple\u2019s policy<\/a>, gadgets that haven\u2019t been distributed for sale within the last seven years are considered obsolete. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A collective fear amongst many is a smartphone alarm failing to go off after setting it the night&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[936,26970,61,4178,60,202,216,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-192148","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-flights","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-iphone","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-mobile","14":"tag-tech","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
