iPhone alarm not going off in the morning
Your iPhone's volume is probably turned down or the alarm sound is too quiet. The physical mute switch on the side of your phone silences alarms, and a few other settings can make them silent too. Check these three things first. one of them almost always fixes it.

The physical mute switch on the side of your phone can silence alarms without affecting other sounds, or the alarm volume slider in Settings is turned down too low. We'll check the mute switch, boost your alarm volume, and make sure Do Not Disturb isn't interfering.
