iOS 27 Finally Splits iPhone Ringtone and Alarm Volume
9 Jun
Summary
- iPhone users can now adjust ringtone, alarm, and alert volumes independently.
- This much-requested feature arrives with the upcoming iOS 27 update.
- The update is currently in developer beta, with public release this fall.
iPhone users will soon experience a significant quality-of-life improvement with the upcoming iOS 27 update, allowing for independent control of ringtone, alarm, and alert volumes. This feature, long a staple on Android devices, addresses a persistent user request.
The controls are accessible within the Settings app under Sounds & Haptics. Users can toggle a new option to enable separate sliders for alarms and system alerts, though the Wake-Up alarm remains managed within Bedtime settings. A unified slider option is retained for those who prefer simplicity.
This enhancement was not a focal point of the recent WWDC 26 keynote, which emphasized Siri AI and Apple Intelligence updates. iOS 27 is currently in developer beta, with a public beta anticipated next month. The full release is scheduled for this fall and will support devices from the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd generation) onwards.
