On April 7th, it's become a trend on Weibo every time a holiday ends: "iPhone alarms failing to recognize holidays" becomes a hot topic.

Today, as the Qingming Festival holiday comes to a close, despite it being Sunday, due to work rescheduling, many netizens are once again complaining that their iPhone alarms failed to recognize the rescheduled workday, resulting in alarms not going off. 27847ce8-d374-4006-a5a1-2815220ba8ff.jpg The topic of "adjustable working days" surged to the top of Weibo's hot search list, and the related topic "iPhone alarm clock does not recognize adjustable working days" also made it to the trending topics on Weibo.

In response, Apple customer service stated that the iPhone alarm clock needs to be manually set, and there is no way for it to automatically recognize which day is a public holiday.

This situation can be recorded as feedback. If there is a considerable amount of feedback, colleagues from the engineering department may consider addressing it in future updates.

It is understood that currently, the iPhone alarm clock's repeat function cannot intelligently select statutory holidays and can only be set for the seven days of the week from Monday to Sunday.

In comparison, the intelligent recognition of holidays has become a standard feature for domestic Android smartphones' alarm clocks. s_f28bdd1865e14f7d889840e90494e842.jpg
