- Alternatively, you can search for "Alarm" in the search bar at the top of the screen and tap on the "Alarm" app.
Step 2: Select the Alarm
Once you have opened the Alarm app, select the alarm you want to adjust the volume of. This will bring up the Alarm Details page.
- In the Alarm Details page, you can see the alarm’s details, including the alarm’s name, time, and duration.
- Click on the Volume tab on the right-hand side of the screen to adjust the alarm’s volume.

- Tap on the desired volume option to apply the change.
Important Tips and Reminders
- Make sure to adjust the volume of the alarm carefully, as excessive volume can disturb others nearby.
- If you are using the Away feature, be aware that the alarm will not go off, and you will be notified when someone calls or texts you.
- If you have a noise-cancelling iPhone, the noise-cancelling feature may not be effective in reducing the volume of the alarm.
