Apple is trying to fix a problem which caused some iPhone alarms to not go off.
TikTok users have been complaining they were getting unwanted lie-ins.
“This has probably been the third or fourth day in a row that my alarm clock has not gone off,” said one TikTok user Reid Manning.
Another, Alyssa Sarracco, missed classes after taking a cheeky midday nap even though she set “five alarms”. “This is not me,” she said in a video that has amassed 3.7 million views. “I am not the problem here.”
Apple told NBC News it is “aware of an issue causing some iPhone alarms to not play the expected sound” and said “the company is working on a fix”.
