The issue is more severe to other iPhone users as in some cases the iPhone Alarm doesn’t even sound when in standby mode. Specially when a text notification is received on the screen in standby mode then the alarm won’t sound, which is weird.

So basically,. An iPhone user on iOS 17 using StandBy mode is facing below issue with Alarm:

• When Alarm goes off and as soon as you touch the phone, No snooze option .
• iPhone Alarm doesn’t sound when in standby mode
• Notification turns off Alram in StandBy mode on iPhone
• The alarm sound is very low in StandBy mode on iOS 17

Why iPhone Alarm not making sound in StandBy mode ?

As there is no option to snooze the alarm in StandBy mode and accidental touch is turning off the Alarm, this seem to bug while adding the StandBy feature. This is a big miss from the Apple while adding StandBy feature, as one would want on a standby night mode is to have a clock and get alarms.

How to fix Alarm issue in StandBy mode: iPhone 14,13,11,iOS 17  ?

Unfortunately there is no possible fix for the Alarm issue in StandBy mode and after contacting the Apple support, they are also not able to provide any workaround solution to fix the issue.

The Apple should fix the issue in  StandBy feature and the Standby Screen should automatically get hidden once the device is picked up and the regular alarm overlay should be displayed.

The only solution to get the alarm snooze is to keep StandBy off until this issue gets fixed by Apple in upcoming iOS releases. To turn on StandBy mode Go to iPhone “Settings” app.> “Display & Brightness.” >Locate the “Standby Mode” option and disable it.

Also keep checking for iOS 17 updates and install it on the iPhone for permanent fix for the issue.
