this morning once again my phone alarm didn’t ring 👿 I was already awake and waited for it to ring—it did go off but with no sound or haptics!

this only started happening proximal to the iOS 18 update 🤦🏻‍♀️

many Reddit threads later I found the issue!! here it is in case it’s useful

for some reason under sound and haptics the volume bar slid to 0 AND  change with buttons was toggled OFF (even tho I’ve never touched this toggle before or knew it existed)

it should be ON and volume on, then go back and check all the alarms to make sure they have sound (mine had no sound for any of the alarm sound options!)
