Poll: Does your Pixel phone also miss alarms?

Over the weekend, frustrated users took to Reddit to complain about their Pixel phones’ missing alarms. The screenshot shared shows that the alarm did not fire off for an “unknown reason,” often extending multiple times in a row.

Needless to say, this is a rather frustrating bug on its own, but it’s aggravated by its unknown reason, making it all the more difficult to reproduce and fix. In fact, this missed alarm bug isn’t even new — Pixel 9 users had complained about missing alarms in March 2025, and once you start tracing back reports, you’d realize the missed alarm bug in the Google Clock app has been around since at least 2021!

These aren’t one-off reports, either. Several users in the most recent Reddit thread said the bug has happened a few times, even on stable versions of Android and the Clock app. One user even claimed that Google couldn’t replicate the problem, so there’s no fix in sight. Another claimed that it happened to them on a work trip, causing them to miss their flight.

Some users suggested that the issue could be with the phone entering battery-saving mode. However, the original poster affirmed that this wasn’t the case. Even if it was, the alarm should still go off, even in battery-saving mode. The phone also did not turn off at night, the alarm volume was full, and all DND settings were off, including bedtime mode.

We want to ask you: Has your Pixel phone ever missed an alarm? Have you faced this bug? Was your phone in battery-saving mode when it happened? Did you face any loss due to the missed alarm?

We’ve contacted Google for comments on this missed alarm bug on Pixels. We’ll update this article when the company responds.

Meanwhile, if you fear missing alarms on your Pixel phone, you can use an alternative alarm app like Alarmy or Sleep as Android. Alternatively, Amazon Prime Day sale is also an excellent opportunity to pick up a battery-operated physical alarm clock, like this $10 Digital Alarm Clock from Amazon Basics, this $10 Digital Alarm Clock from Sharp, or even this $8 old-school twin-bell Analog Alarm Clock that is said to be pretty loud, in case you are a heavy sleeper.
