If you’re in the mood to take a glorious snooze, waking up much later than you intended to, go ahead and install the iOS 9.1 update overnight. iOS users are taking to Twitter and various forums to warn others that updating iPads and iPhones overnight will cancel any alarms from going off.
The updates have been rolling out to Apple devices since last week, so hopefully you’re past this point already. But if you’re not, heed the warnings:
Oh if you accept the iPhone’s offer to update the OS overnight, it shuts off your alarm while you sleep.

If you have your iOS update run overnight, don’t expect your alarms to go off in the morning.

Top marks to whoever at #Apple said “Let’s have #iOS update overnight, and disable the alarm clock while it does it.”

Apple suggesting an iOS update overnight sure sounded clever… But it doesn’t turn your alarm back on.

Or just use it as an excuse to sleep in a little. Whatever.
