this is doing my head in: why is my alarm so quiet iphone?

it only does it on wifi, which is odd. i've seen people say it changed recently, though i can't find an announcement. is there a fix, or do i live with it?

are you using the sleep schedule wake up alarm? that one doesn't follow the ringer setting, it has its own volume slider. edit it in the clock app (or health > sleep) and there's a slider under sounds & haptics. mine was set almost to zero and i never knew.

The alarm follows the ringer volume, not the media volume you change while watching stuff. So go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag Ringtone and Alerts up. If Change with Buttons is off, the side buttons never touch it, which catches loads of people. On Face ID phones there's also Attention Aware Features under Face ID & Attention. With it on the alarm gets quieter as soon as you glance at the phone. Worth checking the alarm tone in the Clock app too, some of them are just softer than others.
