For basically the entire life of the iPhone, your ringtone and your alarm shared one volume slider. Turn the ringer down at night or in a meeting, and the alarm dropped with it. That's why you've slept through alarms and blamed yourself. iOS 27 finally separates them. Settings, Sounds & Haptics, turn off Match Ringtone Volume under Alarms and Timers. Now your alarm has its own volume, independent of your ringer. Silent phone all night, alarm still blasts in the morning. One caveat: this only applies to standard Clock alarms, the ones you set in the Alarm tab. If you wake up with a Sleep schedule alarm, those already had their own volume, so nothing changes for you. How many alarms do you think you've slept through because of this? #ios27 #iphone #apple #iphonetips #techmadesimple Jl80uFt0Bbt VrlBcoYPA2V GT1ulGC4s3R OR4MfW2vSNE q2sO2M0SKNv
