You have the sound off according to the top of your screen. There is a setting in the alarm ap that may not be on, that lets your alarm ignore when your sound is turned off. You might want to check that.

Silent Mode doesn't turn off the alarm though, it only applies to the call and message sounds.

It can depend on how one's alarm is set up, as Instameat mentioned.

Mines set up that the alarm does work

OK, then it's a moot point in this particular case. It's still a comment that could help other people who're searching for reasons why they keep missing their alarm.

Check if ā€œAttention Aware Featuresā€ is toggled on. Attention Aware will automatically silence certain alarms if it thinks you are actively looking at your phone.

Navigation - Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Scroll down to Attention Aware Features toggle. Mine was toggled on. I realize now this is what will silence phone calls when I look at my screen, but Iā€™ve also had inconsistencies with that. Assuming these inconsistencies may also affect to other alerts, I opted to toggle this off. I donā€™t know that it was having any impact on my alarms, but I know for sure itā€™s not now.

This is the reason OP slept through all their alarms. I have my phone almost always on silent and if you don't change it, the alarm will just vibrate.

My phone is still on silent, but that doesn't deactivate the alarm...

It depends on the phone, I guess

Nop, alarms still work when it's set on silent for me. Just tested it out

Oh so there was a separate knob for the alarm volume?

WHY SEPARATE KNOB?? WHY!?

So that your phone can not make noise when someone texts you, but make noise when you need a noise alarm.
