You can certainly adjust the alarm volume on the iPhone. Depending on the configuration, however, this does not work using the buttons. Here is the solution.
Many people rely on an alarm clock in the morning so that they can get to work on time and not oversleep. Fortunately, every smartphone today offers an alarm function, meaning that a standalone device is no longer required. But if the alarm tone is too quiet, it’s of little use.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and iPhone Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re diving into a common but frustrating issue for many iPhone users: adjusting alarm volume. Joining us is John Carter, an expert in smartphone technology. John, thanks for being here!
John Carter: Thanks for having me! I’m excited to discuss this topic.
Editor: Many of our readers have experienced that adjusting the volume for alarms can sometimes feel a bit tricky. Can you explain why this is the case?
John: Absolutely. The volume controls on the iPhone primarily adjust media and call volumes. However, the alarm volume can behave differently based on how the device is configured. It can be a bit counterintuitive!
Editor: That’s interesting! So, is it true that the volume buttons might not work for adjusting alarm settings?
John: Yes, that’s right. When you try to adjust the volume using the physical buttons, it will only affect the media or ringer volume, not the alarm sound, unless you have the option enabled in settings. This can lead to confusion when someone expects their alarm to change after adjusting the buttons.
Editor: So, what’s the proper solution for users wanting to adjust their alarm volume?
John: The best approach is to adjust the volume through the Clock app directly. You can do this by going to the “Sounds & Haptics” section in the Settings app, where you can adjust the ”Ringer and Alerts” slider. This will ensure your alarm volume is set to your preference.
Editor: That makes so much sense! Are there any tips you would recommend for users who often forget to adjust their alarm volume before bedtime?
John: Definitely! A good habit is to make it part of your nightly routine to check the volume settings. You could even set a reminder on your phone to do so. Additionally, consider using different alarm tones that may be more or less jarring, depending on your preference.
Editor: I love that idea! Now, what about users who wake up to a relatively quiet alarm? Is there an ideal tone that tends to work better for waking up?
John: Great question! Users often find that alarms with ascending or gradually increasing tones are more effective. These tones can help ease you awake more gently compared to sudden loud sounds, which can be quite jarring.
Editor: That’s such helpful advice! Lastly, are there any new features in iOS updates that relate to alarms or volume adjustments that users should be aware of?
John: Yes! Apple frequently adds enhancements with each iOS update. Keeping your device up-to-date ensures you’re benefiting from the latest features and fixes. Sometimes, updates even introduce new alarm sounds or improved functionality that enhance the user experience.
Editor: Fantastic insights, John! Thank you for your time and expertise today. I’m sure our readers will appreciate your tips on mastering alarm volume settings.
John: It was my pleasure! Happy to help any iPhone users get a better night’s sleep!
