Next time you’re late to work, you may be able to blame it on your phone… People with iPhones have been making complaints that alarms they have set and turned on, have somehow been turned off! This has obviously caused an issue with peoples lives… and Apple is taking full responsibility for it!
Apple admitted it was their fault saying the new updated iOS17 used a feature that determines whether or not a user is actively paying attention to their device and then automatically adjusts certain settings and behavior accordingly. For example, if you’re looking at your phone, the display brightness won’t dim and the volume of the sound for your alert lowers.
But, as some have pointed out, the feature may mistakenly register someone as awake and looking at their phone when they are actually asleep ― thus leading to the silent alarms.
To turn that feature off:
1. Open “Settings”
2. Go to “Accessibility”
3. Tap “Face ID & Attention”
4. Toggle off “Attention Aware Features”
You can also find this feature under “Voice Control” in “Accessibility.”
