iOS 26 Upgraded Your iPhone’s Alarm With New Snooze Options

Millions of iPhone users start their day with the built-in Clock app, but one thing has always been missing: control over the snooze duration. With iOS 26, Apple has finally delivered the flexibility people have been asking for.

Custom Snooze Durations Arrive

Until now, iPhone alarms only allowed the classic 9-minute snooze, a limitation that led many users to set multiple alarms instead. With iOS 26, you can now set a custom snooze duration for each alarm.

How It Works

• Snooze times can be set anywhere between 1 minute and 15 minutes

• The default remains 9 minutes, but you can change it per alarm

• Each alarm can have its own snooze duration, giving you more control

Why It Matters

It may seem like a small change, but for users who’ve long wished for more flexibility, this update could make a big difference in how they wake up and manage their mornings.
