Android users can ensure alarms ring at full volume when calls are muted

Users can ensure their Android alarms ring at full volume even when calls are muted by adjusting specific volume settings. While the exact steps vary by device manufacturer, most Android phones allow separate control over alarm volume versus ringtone and notification volumes. Users can typically access these settings through the expanded volume menu or the main settings app under 'Sound & vibration'. Additionally, ensuring alarms are permitted during 'Do Not Disturb' mode and checking Bluetooth audio routing or battery optimization settings can resolve issues. AI
