Apple Fixes Alarms in iOS 26.1

I like it. I have accidentally pushed off instead of snooze (or my finger bumped it) twice. However the new update reset my volume to barley and i didn't hear my alarm.
 
So this is all done for the lazy people who can’t get up?? Why not just let the responsible people be able to go to alarm/settings and toggle on or off the slide and keep tap.
 
Arrgh, what about those of us who hit the Snooze button by mistake when we want to stop the alarm? More flexible controls would have been better, such as parameters for Snooze (button or slider) and Stop (button or slider). Of course, you can't please everybody, so just please me!
 
Thanks God I do not need to find a “Bitcoin block” to disarm my morning alarm.

Instead of giving us so promised AI, Apple gives us a “disarm slider”, way to go for the multi billion offshore company.
 
That’s a terrible change. I always want just to stop the alarm. Currently I want to turn it off quickly before it wakes my wife up. With the slide option, I would have to find my glasses, the nslide on the screen. By the time I have done this, it would have woken my wife, who does not need to get up at the same time as me.

I really do hope there is an option to turn off the slide to slide to stop.

There are people who never ever want to use the snooze button. There are different use cases in the world. I for one would love a setting to remove "snooze" altogether. I never snoozed, never will. I just want a big bold "stop" button. When I hear my alarm, I'm awake and up within 30 seconds, so this change adds a useless gesture to something that should be super easy, like stopping an alarm.

Edit: I'm dumb, I never noticed I can actually disable snooze 😂 that said, how does it behave with snooze disabled? Is it still a slider, or does it return to being a button? (I don't have the beta installed)

Ha… I wish I had your rise and shine ability!

Good question about the slider. I haven’t installed the beta.

This is one of the most consistent-with-the-user-experience changes that Apple has done in a long time. For those who don’t snooze and consider this an additional complication, it will be interesting to see if the slider reverts to a plain button if the particular alarm has snoozing disabled.

Again.... This is for the lazy people who have multiple alarms and can't focus enough to hit the right button.

What?!? No. Why do so many people keep saying this? I found this thread because it was driving me crazy that ever since the iOS 26 update, every time my alarm would go off in my pocket, I would reach in and pull the phone out and the alarm was gone before I could even see the screen to see what it was reminding me about. I would have to look at what time it is and then go scroll through my list of alarms to figure out what I was trying to remind myself.

I never have this problem when it's sitting on a table, only when it is in my pocket. But it's in my pocket for most of the day!

Perhaps you’d be better off disabling the Snooze option on your alarms? I haven’t used the Snooze feature for years, just Stop, and it’s been ideal for my needs.

Is there an option to do that? I absolutely would, I have never touched the snooze button intentionally in my life.

Edit: Holy that’s easy, how did I never notice that?

I mean that is easily fixed by not grabbing your screen in your pocket. I literally have never had this happen. If it is happening to you "all of the time" like you claim, seems to be an easy fix with how you take it in and out of your pocket.
 
It is a pretty big miss that they did not also add the slide to stop feature in standby mode for those of us using MagSafe with the phone in landscape mode.
 
Anyone who updated - is this slide to stop feature disable-able? ... or do I have to never upgrade again?
