Apple iPhone users are showing up late to work because their sleep alarms are not sounding.

A number of iPhone owners have raised the alarm after their alarms failed to go off at an adequate volume, causing many to miss it altogether. Apple said it was aware of the issue but declined to offer any specific insight into what the problem is while pledging it was working on a fix.

Some people believe it could be linked to the “Attention Aware Features,” which lower the volume when your iPhone believes you’re looking at your screen, and if you don’t want to take any chances, it can be turned off by going to the Face ID & Passcode section in the Settings menu. Turning off the feature or rebooting the phone may also solve the problem.
