Know if the alarm still rings
Silence the phone overnight and still be woken in the morning.
Silencing a phone quiets notifications and the ringer. An alarm is neither of those, so it still sounds at full volume.
A phone switched off is the one case where an alarm cannot ring.
Key points
- Silencing a phone quiets notices and the ringer, not the alarm
- Only a phone switched off cannot sound an alarm
What to remember
- The row says Always sound, and it means it.
- Silence covers notices and the ringer. Never the alarm.
Try this
Set an alarm two minutes from now, silence your phone, and wait for it. Once proved, you will trust it.
