How to quickly set an alarm on iPhone

Smartphones have also replaced our alarm clocks. Now we can use smartphones to set alarms and get alerted at the specified time. We set alarms for night’s sleep, short naps, or different things. Sometimes we also set alarms for reminders. If you are using an iPhone, you can use it to set alarms and reminders. There’s a Clock app on iOS for alarms, stopwatch, and Timer. You can open this app to set an alarm.

Use the Clock app to set an alarm

To set an alarm using the Clock app, open The Clock app and go to the Alarm section. Here’ tap on the + icon at the top right corner. Now select the time and other options such as repeat, label, or sound. Once done, tap Save to save the alarm.

Now you know how to set an alarm on your iPhone. But there’s a faster way of setting an alarm on an iPhone.

Use the Control Center shortcut to set an alarm

You can add Alarm to Control Centre and then quickly access it using Control Centre. For adding Alarm to Control Centre, Open the Settings app, tap on Control Centre, and look for Alarm. Then click on the + icon to add the alarm to Control Centre. Now open Control Centre to see the Clock icon.

It will open the Alarm section of the Clock app where you can now set an alarm.

Use Siri to set the alarm

Just like many other things, you can set an alarm using Siri. Just say “Hey Siri, set alarm TIME” There could be several voice commands as per need.
