A software bug caused some iPhone users to fall asleep in spite of muted alerts, which sparked a wave of angry social media remarks. Many people use their phones as their main alarm clocks, so the unplanned sleep in created some havoc for those who get up early. Fortunately, Apple is developing a quick repair to get things back on track, according to the BBC.

A social media user expressed her displeasure that her "like five alarms" had not gone off. 

Apple acknowledged the problem with silent iPhone alarms, but it hasn't identified the root reason or provided a solution to stop wake-up calls from being missed. Furthermore, it's unclear how many users are impacted and which particular iPhone models are involved.

The NBC Today Show broke the story first, emphasizing the predicament of early risers. If there isn't a formal remedy, people can try these few fixes:

Double-Check Settings: Make sure the volume is appropriate and the alarms are set correctly.

Suspect Attention Feature: There are rumors that Apple's "attention-aware features" could involve alarm silencing. 

With the iPhone X and subsequent models, these features allow alert loudness to be dynamically adjusted based on user attention. TikTok users argue that if users sleep with their screens facing them, these capabilities could quiet alarms.

Apple hopes to have this resolved quickly, but in the interim, customers may have to utilize traditional alarm clocks to make sure they wake up on time.
