How to make sure your alarm still sounds when your iPhone is on vibrate mode
- Your alarm will sound when your iPhone is on vibrate mode, regardless of whether the ringer is turned on or off.
- You should still make sure that your alarm is set to a ringtone (anything other than "None") and that your iPhone's volume is loud enough that you will be able to hear it.

We all lead busy lives, and having your phone dinging, beeping, and ringing every time you receive a call, text, or email isn't necessarily convenient.
For this reason - or simply for sheer personal preference - many people choose to silence their iPhone's volume in favor of turning it on vibrate.
However, if your iPhone is on vibrate, you may be wondering if that alarm you set to get you up in time for work in the morning will still sound.
Good news: the answer is yes.
Regardless of whether you've turned off your iPhone's ringer or turned your iPhone on silent and chose to only have it vibrate, any alarms you set will still sound aloud.
However, if you're concerned about how audible those alarms will be, it may be worth it to ensure that your alarm is on its loudest setting. Here's how to do it.
