iOS 26 beta 8 – AlarmKit – Custom sounds in Library/Sounds do not play
I put a test.mp3 (30 sec) file into the App Bundle. I scheduled an AlarmKit alarm with the file name test.mp3. The custom sound plays ✅ I copied the file from the App Bundle to Library/Sounds/test2.mp3. I scheduled an AlarmKit alarm with the file name test2.mp3. Instead of playing the custom sound, it falls back to the default sound ❌ According to the documentation, sounds placed in Library/Sounds should be playable: I filed report FB19779004 on August 20, but haven’t received any response yet. This functionality is critical for our use case, so could you please let me know whether this is expected to be fixed soon, or if I’m misunderstanding the intended behavior?

AlarmKit: volume buttons for snoozing
Hi, Is there any way to make AlarmKit alarms snooze when the user presses the hardware volume buttons? Currently, pressing a volume button while an AlarmKit alarm is ringing stops/dismisses the alarm. Why this matters: Many users instinctively press the volume buttons when an alarm starts (either to react quickly while half-asleep or because they’re used to the Clock app behavior). When this stops the alarm entirely, users unintentionally dismiss the alarm, which can lead to missed wake-ups and a poor user experience. In practice, this becomes a frequent source of confusion and frustration because the behavior differs from the system Clock app.
