Alarms

You can set multiple alarms. Set each alarm to repeat on days you specify, or to sound only once.

Set an alarm: 

  1. Tap Alarm and tap Plus sign.

  2. Adjust any of the following settings:

    • To set the alarm to repeat on certain days, tap Repeat and choose the days.

    • To choose the ringtone that sounds when the alarm goes off, tap Sound.

    • To set whether the alarm gives you the option to hit snooze, turn Snooze on or off. If Snooze is on and you tap Snooze when the alarm sounds, the alarm stops and then sounds again in ten minutes.

    • To give the alarm a description, tap Label. iPhone displays the label when the alarm sounds.

If at least one alarm is set and turned on, Alarm icon appears in the iPhone status bar at the top of the screen.

IMPORTANT: Some carriers don’t support network time in all locations. If you’re traveling, iPhone alerts may not sound at the correct local time. See Date and Time.

Turn an alarm on or off: 

Tap Alarm and turn any alarm on or off. If an alarm is turned off, it won’t sound again unless you turn it back on.

If an alarm is set to sound only once, it turns off automatically after it sounds. You can turn it on again to reenable it.

Change settings for an alarm: 

Tap Alarm and tap Edit, then tap Blue dot with right arrow next to the alarm you want to change.

Delete an alarm: 

Tap Alarm and tap Edit, then tap Red dot with minus sign next to the alarm and tap Delete.
