I am wondering if there is a way for the phone's alarm to ring at a certain time every day, without me having to manually set it every day?

I wake up every day at 5.30 am for work, and while I don't mind using siri to set my alarm every night, I am wondering if there is some way to automate this process?

Thank you for your advice. :)
 
Most likely via a third party App. I have no suggestion unfortunately, my kids wake be up way before I need to anyway :(
 
Go to the clock app, then alarm, and add a new alarm with whatever time you want to get up, then hit repeat and put the days you want it to repeat on

So basically, I need to set 5 separate alarms, each set to repeat on that day of the week?

I guess that works...can't believe I never noticed it, or that Apple hasn't come up with a streamlined method...:p

No, it the time is the same, then you have one alarm that repeats over multiple days.

Apple's even smart enough to display "Weekdays" if you select Mon-Fri.

This. You can set one alarm and choose to repeat whichever days of the week you want. So set one alarm to 5:30, then you can edit it to repeat any number of days of the week that you want.
