iOS 27 adds independent alarm volume control to iPhone

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

iOS 27 introduces independent volume controls for alarms and ringtones on iPhones, addressing a long-standing user complaint. Previously, adjusting the ringtone volume also affected alarm volume, leading to missed alarms. The new update allows users to toggle off "Match Ringtone Volume" in the Sounds & Haptics settings to set a separate, fixed volume for alarms and timers. This update also offers more granular control over system alerts and media playback volume. AI

IMPACT Enhances user experience by providing more granular control over device audio settings.
