Alarm widget broken ios 16.1

Alarm not showing on Lock Screen? Top Lock Screen widget displays ‘Alarms Off’ although an alarm is scheduled for the next morning? Small alarm widget shows ‘NO’ instead of the actual alarm time, after iOS 16.1 update?

Alarm Not Showing On Lock Screen?

This issue has been reported by James14 in the comments section of our iOS 16.1 review page:

“Upcoming alarm not showing in Lock Screen widget. ‘NO’ is displayed instead of the alarm time.”

Problem has been also confirmed by Lee and Adrian:

“I have same issu.Lock Screen says ALARM OFF but I have alarm set for next day.”

The issue seems widespread. We found similar complaints on Reddit:

“Since I updated to 16.1, my alarms are not showing on my Lock Screen. It just says no alarms but they are set.”

The good news is that alarms work and go off as scheduled. It’s just the Lock Screen widget that’s broken. But this is still very annoying and confusing indeed.

How To Fix Alarms Off in iOS 16

Apple will have to address this bug in an upcoming software update. Until then, you can apply the following workarounds:

1. Turn Alarm Off and Back On
