With the advent of new technology, more and more people are using FaceTime to communicate with their friends and family. But what happens if your alarm goes off while you’re on a facetime call?
Will it interrupt the call, or will the alarm sound quietly in the background? Also whether other people on the call will hear your alarm or not? In this blog post, we will answer all of these questions.
Will Your Alarm Go Off While on FaceTime?
Yes, your alarm will still go off while you are on facetime. Also, it doesn’t matter if your iPhone is on silent; your alarm will still make noise.
Alarms on iPhones are designed to be noticeable and ensure that users do not miss important reminders.
However, your Facetime call will still continue when the alarm goes off and will not be interupted.
If you want the alarm not to go off, then you have to turn it off manually before it can ring.
Also, some people think that a facetime call ends when the alarm goes off, but it does not; it will continue until you turn off the call manually.
Unlike other calling apps like WhatsApp, which automatically silence the alarm sound when it rings, facetime currently does not have a silent alarm feature during a call.
It can be frustrating if your alarm rings during an important call, but you can still make it silent by using a silent ringtone.
How Alarms Are Displayed on The Screen During a FaceTime Call
When an alarm goes off during a FaceTime call, it typically appears as a banner or pop-up notification at the top of the screen.
Users can quickly dismiss or snooze the alarm by swiping down the alarm banner and tapping the corresponding buttons on the notification.
Volume and Vibration Settings for Alarms During Calls
During a FaceTime call, the alarm volume is reduced, allowing users to hear the alarm without it being excessively disruptive.
This feature ensures that the alarm remains noticeable, but it does not completely drown out the audio from the call.
Will Your Alarm Go Off During a Call on iPhone?
On an iPhone, if you have an alarm set and you are on a call when the alarm time arrives, the alarm will still go off. Here’s a more detailed explanation of what happens:
- Alarm sound: The iPhone will play the alarm sound at a reduced volume so that it doesn’t overpower the audio of the ongoing call. This ensures that you can still hear the alarm, but it won’t interrupt your conversation.
- Call priority: Your iPhone prioritizes the ongoing call over the alarm, ensuring that the call remains connected and the audio quality is not affected.
- Alarm notification: You will see the alarm notification on your iPhone’s screen, even if you’re on a call. You can choose to snooze or stop the alarm without disconnecting the call. To do so, simply tap the “Snooze” or “Stop” button on the alarm notification.
- Call continuation: After you’ve acknowledged the alarm by snoozing or stopping it, your call will continue uninterrupted. There will be no need to reconnect or call back the person you were speaking to.
- Other person wont hear it: Whenever you are on a phone call and the alarm goes off ,the person you are calling will not hear any sound of the alarm.
Can Other Person Hear Your Alarm on FaceTime?
No, other people in your facetime chat will not be able to hear your alarm sound. When your alarm goes off, only you will hear the alarm sound.
This is a great feature, and make sure your facetime calls don’t get disturbed because of your alarms.
Similarly, if someone’s else alarm goes off during your facetime call, you will not hear any alarm sound.
How to Stop the Alarm from Ringing While on FaceTime?
The best way to stop your alarm from going off is to turn it off before you start the call. If not then you can use a silent ringtone for your alarm.
When you set a silent ringtone for your alarm, your alarm will not make any sound and will not disturb your facetime call.
To set up,
- Open clock app on your iphone.
- Tap on ‘Alarms’ icon located at the ottom of the screen.
- Select your upcoming alarm and tap on sound.
- Scroll down to the ottom of the screen and select “NONE”.
Do Alarm Go Off on Do Not Disturb Mode While on Facetime Call?
If you have enabled do not disturb mode, then your alarm will still ring while on a facetime call.
This is because do not disturb mode silences all incoming calls, texts, and other notifications, but it doesn’t stop alarms from going off.
Also, other features like Airplane mode and focus mode do not stop alarms from going off either.
Conclusion
To conclude, your alarm will still go off while on facetime, but there are ways to stop it from happening. The best way is to turn it off before starting the call or use a silent ringtone for your alarm.
Please do not rely on do not disturb mode or other similar features, as they will not stop your alarm from going off.
