length of alarm sound

I generally am 'alarmed' when the morning alarm starts wailing...so its not uncommon I've shut the darn noise off within just a few seconds...


However, this length of time is NOT sufficient for alarms at other times of the day...like for when I need to stop what I'm doing and start heading for the dentist office etc...I don't use alarms mid-day very often, but I've noticed that the 'ring' is only a few seconds long...and then I don't 'hear' any audible alarm...but when I arrive at the phone in the other room, etc...I notice that a 'snooze' countdown is active on the screen-display...but no audible alarm is sounding...not good.


So, is there a way to 'lengthen' the sound of the alarm...like to a minute?...or 9 minutes as someone had suggested?...Then to be allowed to 'snooze' or turn it off once I've recognized why I set the alarm in the first place?...Someone a few months ago (regarding a similar question...or was it the first answer on the list of the 'google-search'?...anyhow, the suggestion was to hit the 'three-dot' menu after clicking on the clock icon, and make adjustment in there...{only there is no three-dot menu on my version...}

My experience with iPhone alarms is that they continue to sound until I turn them off. I admit I don't think I ever tested it past about 15 minutes though. Also, the alarm should not automatically snooze. So, my feeling is that there is something wrong here.


I would start by deleting any apps you have set up and creating new ones. If you don't use the snooze feature, disable it for the apps you use. For alarms that are important, I recommend using the built-in alarm sounds as music is sometimes problematic.
