Apple Fixes Alarms in iOS 26.1

[TDOB]

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.

Apple's New Alarm Design in iOS 26 Might Make You Oversleep

In the iOS 26 beta, Apple has redesigned the alarm screen in the Clock app, giving it a cleaner look with a larger time display and significantly...

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

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.

Make it a math problem. "Solve for X to stop alarm"

I am kind of good at math so this would wake me up

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.

It doesn't.
