User level: Level 1 (5 points)I have an iphone14 pro max. Updated iOS to 27.2. Now alarm function with reminders set as urgent does not work. Have looked at permissions in settings but all seem ok. Any suggestions? Have tried restart as well.

Have you checked the Mute switch on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons?
Have you checked the volume buttons?
Have you checked that the phone is not in Do Not Disturb?
Go to Settings/Notifications/Reminders and make sure they are enabled.

Turn on 'Live Activities' in the Reminders app settings. That worked for me.

If you are expecting an “Urgent Alarm” reminder to be added automatically to the Clock app, that is not what will happen here. A reminder labelled “Urgent Alarm” does not automatically become an alarm in the Clock app.
If you want your iPhone to sound an alarm at a specific time, you need to create an alarm in the Clock app separately. A reminder and a Clock alarm are two different things, and creating one does not automatically create the other.
Create an urgent reminder. In iOS 26.2, you can mark a reminder as urgent and Reminders will schedule an alarm when that reminder is due.Read more

Yes. Volume up, not muted and not on Do not disturb. Have double checked permissions and all good. Use this option frequently and worked fine till updates
