Considering my iPhone alarm still sometimes fails to go off (it just shows the alarm screen silently), I'd be inclined to believe you.

- yakz 2y agoWhenever I have to wake for something that I absolutely can’t miss, I set 2-3 extra reminders 5 minutes apart precisely because of this “silent alarm” bug. It’s only happened to me a couple of times but twice was enough to completely destroy my trust in the alarm. The first time I thought I just did something in my sleep to cause it, but the UI shows it as if the alarm worked. I’m lucky to have the privilege that if I oversleep an hour or so it’s no big deal, otherwise ye olde tabletop alarm clock would be back.

- pedroslopez 2y agoHah - I also just assumed that I was turning the alarm off in my sleep without noticing. I started doubting it and really wish there was a log of when you tapped snooze or stopped the alarm... This is too much of a dev feature for apple to implement and there are probably third party apps that do this, but meh
- ineedasername 2y agoThanks for that— I though I was going crazy (well still could be I guess) or had some strange habit or gesture I didn’t realize was silencing the alarm somehow.
