According to reports by Emilie Ikeda from NBC and Joanna Stern from The Wall Street Journal, Apple has stated that they are working on fixing a software bug on the iPhone that has caused some users' alarms in the clock app to not sound at the set times.
After gaining attention on social media platforms like TikTok, NBC's "Today Show" highlighted the issue this morning. It is currently unclear how many iPhone users are experiencing this problem, as not everyone is affected.
While some TikTok users claim that the issue is caused by the iPhone's "attention awareness" feature, Apple has not disclosed the specific reason.
The promised fix may be included in future software updates, such as iOS 17.4.2 or iOS 17.5, but Apple has not provided a timeline for addressing the issue.
