A peculiar iPhone glitch has been haunting a UK woman for the last five years, causing an unscheduled alarm to ring at 9:25 a.m. daily, baffling even Apple employees.
Angele Sofia, the user in question, shared her bizarre experience in a TikTok video that quickly went viral, garnering over 780,000 views.
In her video, Sofia humorously questioned whether the alarm predicted her time of death.
She explained that this mysterious alarm started ringing “out of the blue” four or five years ago, despite her never setting one for that specific time.
More puzzling is the fact that the alarm rings only if her phone is not on silent, deviating from typical iPhone behavior.
Additionally, the alarm sounds just once instead of repeating until stopped or snoozed.
What’s more, Sofia revealed that upgrading her phone didn’t resolve the issue.
The glitch seems to follow her data, persisting through each new iPhone she purchases and transfers her information to.
She admits to avoiding a factory reset to not lose her data, stating, “My 9:25 alarm comes with it, and it’s the most stressful thing.”
Apple’s specialists have been unable to crack this technological mystery.
As a result, Sofia turned to TikTok’s tech enthusiasts for solutions.
Among the numerous suggestions, one user advised adding and then deleting a 9:25 alarm, while another pointed towards adjusting the sleep schedule settings in the Health app.
A third user suggested it could be related to the ‘sleep | wake up’ feature, where the alarm is labelled ‘no alarm’. However, none of these remedies solved Sofia’s dilemma.
The glitch involves an unexplained alarm that goes off every day at 9:25 a.m. on her iPhone, despite not being set by the user. It started spontaneously four or five years ago and has continued ever since.
She tried upgrading her iPhone, but the glitch persisted as it seems to be linked to her data. She has avoided a factory reset to not lose her data. TikTok users suggested several fixes, but none have worked.
No, Apple specialists have so far been unable to diagnose or fix the issue. The glitch remains a mystery both to Apple’s experts and the wider tech community.
The story went viral on TikTok, amassing over 780,000 views. It has intrigued many due to its unusual nature and the fact that even tech experts are stumped by this persistent alarm issue.
