iPhone alarm not going off in the morning

Your iPhone's volume is probably turned down or the physical mute switch on the side is engaged. Check the mute switch first, then boost your alarm volume in the Clock app. One of these two things fixes it for users.

When your iPhone alarm won't go off or goes off silently, it's a volume or mute setting. The physical mute switch on the side of your phone can silence alarms without affecting other sounds, or the alarm volume slider in Settings is turned down too low. We'll check the mute switch, boost your alarm volume, and make sure Do Not Disturb isn't interfering.
