I think we can all agree that sleeping in and missing our alarm is one of the worst ways to start you day, and this is something that's been regularly happening to some iPhone users.
It isn't because they're super tired and simply not hearing their devices though; hundreds of iPhone users have been complaining that the alarms haven't been going off at all.
Many of those experiencing the ongoing issue have taken to TikTok of late to air their grievances.
One TikToker named Alyssa shared her problems in a clip posted last month.
"I don't know what's been going on with the Apple alarm clocks lately, but I know I cannot be the only one," she said.

Alyssa went on to explain that she went for a nap after one of her classes and, despite having 'set five alarms' she still slept in and missed her next one.
"I swear to god I set the alarms and they just didn't go off," she insisted.
Many others on the video sharing platform have also echoed similar sentiments.
Apple has now addressed the matter and assured iPhone users that its looking to fix the apparent technical issue.

Speaking to Today, the tech powerhouse said that it's 'working on a fix'.
Elsewhere, people have drawn fellow iPhone users' attention to the Attention Awareness Features their devices might have.
As per the Apple website, it explains: "Even if you don’t enroll in Face ID, the TrueDepth camera* intelligently activates to support Attention Aware Features. With Attention Aware Features, iPhone can check whether you’re paying attention to your device and automatically take action."

If you're not looking at your device, it will lower the volume sound of your alerts - which could be the problem that many are facing regarding their alarms.
To fix this, you can simply turn this feature off.
"If you don’t want to use these features, open the Settings app, tap Face ID & Passcode, then turn off Attention Aware Features," explained Apple.

A different feature that's divided iPhone users is its Crash Detection.
Launched in 2022, 'Crash Detection' can assist those involved in accidents by calling for help once activated.
It is currently available on iPhone 14 or later, Apple Watch (Series 8 or later), Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) and Apple Watch Ultra or later.
One Redditor shared her experience with the feature following her sister being involved in a car crash.

She received a message that read: "Crash Detected SOS. I called emergency services from this approximate location after iPhone detected a crash. You are receiving this message because I have listed you as an emergency contact."
People hailed the text as 'terrifying' but also noted it's benefits.
