Chody explained that the reason behind missing her flight was an error in the iPhone alarm settings. She said: “I missed my original flight to Chicago this morning because I set an alarm on my iPhone using Apple’s Clock app. It went off—but with no sound.”
Although the alarm rang for nearly two and a half hours, according to her account, she did not wake up due to a “dead silent” mode that she later discovered was enabled within the system. After sharing her experience, it became clear that others had encountered the same issue. Below, we explain how to adjust iPhone alarm settings to avoid this problem.
How to Adjust iPhone Alarm Settings
According to dailymail.co.uk, the issue is not with the alarm app itself. Rather, it stems from a hidden feature designed to reduce disturbances, which may be activated automatically if not manually controlled by the user. The first step is to check your settings and review the Attention Aware Features option.
Apple’s official website explains that when this feature is enabled, the device lowers the volume of alerts if it detects that you are looking at the screen. Once you look away, the alert volume returns to normal—ensuring the alarm rings audibly.
To avoid the risk of missing an important appointment, it is recommended to turn this feature off entirely so the alarm volume is never reduced. You can do so by following these steps:
Go to Settings.
Enter Face ID & Passcode, then input your passcode.
Disable Attention Aware Features.
You may also want to check Sounds & Haptics to ensure the ringtone and alert volume levels are properly set.
“Cannot Ignore” App for iOS
Recently, Apple introduced the ability to add full-screen alerts through the Cannot Ignore app, which enhances notification features. This app helps users remember important events by displaying reminders in full-screen mode on the home screen.
The feature allows users to highlight reminder lists for key events and occasions, whether activating alerts for individual events or syncing an entire calendar to include all important dates.
The app also enables users to assign custom alert tones for different occasions, making it easier to distinguish between work-related reminders and personal events.
