Alarm Sound Using Assistive Access

I am trying to figure out how to enable the Clock alarm to make an audible sound while the phone is in Assistive Access mode. The alarm will “go off” and an alert will be shown on the screen, but no sound is made even with volume all the way up and the phone not in Silent mode. When Assistive Access is disabled, the alarm works as expected with an audible sound. Does anyone know how to set AA up so that an alarm can be appropriately used?

Am no expert in this area, yet your post certainly deserves some response.

Wondering if you have tried adding the Clock app to Assistive Access: See how to:

There's an earlier discussion thread on this topic (link below) , which shows many other people experience the same issue, and that no-one added any reply:

Seems some features will just work differently in Assistive Access

Seems the best answer here may be to ask the experts at Apple, and, if necessary, request that feature be added for those who need it:

You may want to contact Apple's Accessibility Support Team:

See: How to contact Apple for accessibility support - Apple Support

or

Apple's Accessibility Support Website (info. / support / contact options)

(NB: You can "Get Support" from the link at the bottom of their website:)

Accessibility Support - Official Apple Support

or

If you just want to request that feature to be added, you could email feedback:

All the best :-)
