Apple today said it is working on a fix for an iPhone software bug that has resulted in some alarms in the Clock app failing to play a sound at the set time for some users recently, according to NBC‘s Emilie Ikeda and The Wall Street Journal‘s Joanna Stern.
The issue was highlighted by the TODAY Show on NBC this morning after gaining traction on social media platforms like TikTok. It is unclear how many iPhone users have experienced this issue, but not everyone is affected. While some TikTok users allege that the iPhone’s Attention Aware feature has contributed to the problem, Apple did not reveal a specific cause.
