iOS 26.1: Bring Back the Tap-to-Stop Alarm Button

For those that don’t snooze you can turn snooze off in the alarm settings. Clock > Alrarm > Change > Snooze.

It’s great in Standby where the Stop button is the entire length of the screen.
 
Am I the only one who still has the tap to stop button, even after the 26.1 update? On 16 Pro...it just didn't change for me. Odd. I always thought though, the tap to stop alarm, is ideal but the Snooze should be a slider...so less people snooze? I know "snoozing" is a problem for some people who snooze one or two too many times.
 
Reaching over when half-asleep and maybe eyes closed, more likely to accidently hit the bottom button while wanting to hit the one above. What is worse, tapping stop when you wanted to sleep a few minutes more or tapping snooze when you decided to stop and get up?

So, just keep tap-to-stop but flip them with snooze on the bottom. Maybe even seperate them more.

It takes a weak person to have to rely on snooze. Why not just set your alarm for a few minutes later and get up when it goes off? Ahh, I forgot about alcohol and drugs.

Me, I just want the damn thing off. I have no use for the slider.

I just signed in to laugh at how asinine this comment is. Have a great day my friend.
 
I find it interesting that if you snooze the alarm and then check your lock screen before it goes off again, you can still turn off the snoozed alarm with a single tap, even with slide to stop enabled. It seems like another inconsistent interface element to me, and I'm a little surprised nobody else has commented on it.

(Well... in this thread, anyway; I have no idea if it's been mentioned in the other threads about this feature.)
 
So they allow you to revert to what you are used to (and yes, what else does that do? - a question not answered yet by anyone here).

When will they make it easy to revert from Liquid Glass and return to what you want? This at least gives me a glimmer of hope...

Correct. Liquid glass and the horrific laggy inconsistent UI-wide animations are hot garbage and the literal worst thing apple has ever made. #finalanswer
 
This slide to stop is (whether intended or not) a very nice nostalgic trip back to simpler times.

Like as if a dream.

I, as a long-time Apple fan -- and likely, many other fans and critics alike -- would strongly disagree. Exhibit A would of course have to be the hockey puck mouse.

Sure; many critics are going to call Glass just a poor attempt at cribbing and tweaking Microsoft's Aero interface... and not entirely without justification. But love 'em or hate 'em, Apple has unarguably had their fair share of fails, many of which I would argue are still much worse than Glass.

They've also had their fair share of wins. Kind'a falls into that whole "take the bad with the good" philosophy, I guess.
