Good Morning: iOS 26 Alarm Redesign & Custom Snooze
iOS 26 brings a redesigned Alarm app with a cleaner look and larger, equal-sized Stop and Snooze buttons. The standout change: you can now set the snooze duration per alarm between 1 and 15 minutes, finally replacing the long-standing 9-minute default that originated with mechanical alarms.
How to change snooze duration
- Open the Clock app and go to the Alarm tab.
- Edit an existing alarm or create a new one.
- Ensure Snooze is enabled, then tap the snooze duration number.
- Choose your preferred snooze length (1–15 minutes).
Why this matters
Having adjustable snooze makes morning routines more flexible — short snoozes for tight schedules, longer ones when you need more time. However, the new equal-sized Stop and Snooze buttons may increase the chance of stopping an alarm accidentally, which some commentators warn could lead to oversleeping.
