Re: question about the alarm clock

You can press a button on screen or use the power/lock button or either volume button to turn the alarm off. If you have turned on snooze for the alarm, you will either have to go into the alarm tab of the clock app or use Siri to turn off your alarm. Remember to turn it back on again so that it

so this was the first day of school around here and the first day I've used the alarm on my iPhone. I didn't see any snooze or shut off options as it was going off. I was half asleep, but I hit the home button and it stopped and didn't go off again. Is this the way to turn it off or is there

Looking for an alarm clock app that will let me specify the length of time the alarm goes off.

One thing that has annoyed me about the native clock app is that the alarms will go on it seems like indefinitely. I am looking for an alarm clock app that will let me set how long I want the alarm to go off. For example many of my alarms I only need maybe five or 10 seconds and have it stop.

So if you have snooze on, you can't turn it off with the home or power key right? You would need snooze off to be able to do that if I'm understanding. And if snooze is on you have to manually go into the alarm to turn it off. I set a Monday through Friday alarm to go off at 6:30 to get my
