The ‘toggle sleep alarm’ Siri Shortcuts turns the sleep alarm within a Sleep alarm off or on, depending on its initial status in the clock app.
When sleep schedule is turned on without alarm, and you change the sleep alarm once by turning the alarm ‘on’ in the sleep alarm in the clock app, toggling the ‘toggle sleep alarm’ twice in a Siri shortcut, should turn off and then turn on the alarm again. But the alarm remains off.
This is a bug since iOS 27.0 as this used to work as expected.
This is not the case when reversed: when Sleep schedule and the alarm are turned on, toggling the ‘toggle sleep alarm’ twice, correctly turns off and on the sleep alarm.
Here are steps to reproduce the issue.
- Set up a sleep schedule for your next day without the alarm being tuned on.
- You want to deviate from your sleep schedule once by turning on the alarm once. In the clock app, in the sleep alarm, don’t change the time but only turn on the alarm. Save it and apply it only once (not the schedule). The sleep alarm is now turned on once.
- In a Siri shortcut, apply the ‘toggle sleep alarm’ shortcut twice. Make sure to set it to toggle.
- Run the shortcut. The sleep alarm should now be now turned off and on again.
- In the clock app you would expect the alarm to be turned on, but that is not the case.
The issue only occurs when the sleep alarm
should be turned on again through a Siri shortcut in its second toggle while the alarm itn it’s sleep schedule is off. The reverse works correctly: when in the sleep schedule the alarm is on, the alarm is toggled off and on correctly if you change the alarm once. The alarm also remains off correctly when toggling twice in a siri shortcut, when deviating from once (off instead on) from the sleep schedule where the sleep alarm is on.
Toggling the sleep alarm twice is a workaround to get the wake up time from the sleep schedule (including or without alarm) in a Siri shortcut. Besides this being a bug report about toggling the sleep alarm twice in a Siri shortcut when the sleep schedule is turned on without the alarm, this is also a feature request to properly get the wake up time from the sleep schedule/alarm without the need to toggle the sleep alarm twice. Now you can only directly toggle,skip or unskip the alarm without the ability to return the wake up time in a Siri shortcut.
