Need to unlock my iPhone to set/ edit an alarm with Siri after the ios27.0 update, any way to revert back to how it was before this update?

I’ve noticed with the new ios27.0 update (on iPhone 15 pro), I can no longer ask Siri to set/ check my alarms without unlocking my phone. I’ve given Siri access to my clock app in settings but this hasn’t changed anything, still need to unlock it. Does anyone have a fix for this? Wondering if this is a bug…

Check Settings > Face ID & Passcode > [Allow Access When Locked] …

… Siri, among other items.

Same problem here when using Siri AI (beta) in iOS 27.0 and 27.0.1. It looks like the only work-around right now is to switch back to the old Siri.

I already have all except wallet and control center set to allow access when locked. I can set an alarm but can’t view active ones. Though I could prior to this update.

thanks for the reply though
