Android: turn off the alarm - how it works

You can switch off the alarm clock on Android completely or only for certain days. Alternatively, only the snooze function can be activated in the morning. In this practical tip, we will show you how it all works.

Switch off the Android alarm clock in the morning - how it works

If your alarm clock rings (for an energetic morning, preferably with your own alarm tone), you can slide the control in two directions:

• Left: This activates the snooze function so that the alarm clock rings again after a few minutes. Alternatively, you can tap "Remind" on some devices.
• Right: How to turn off the alarm for that day.

Deactivate alarm clock completely on Android - how it works

Any number of alarm clocks can be configured in the watch app on Android. In addition to the "snooze time", you can also set the days of the week on which the alarm should ring. If you want to completely deactivate the alarm clock for all days, proceed as follows:

• Start the watch app on your phone or tablet.
• Tap on the menu item "Alarm" or the corresponding alarm symbol.
• Now you can deactivate each alarm clock using the slider on the right. Then he no longer rings.
• If you want to completely remove a set alarm clock from the list, tap the icon with the three dots in the top right corner and select the "Delete" entry or the trash can symbol. Then select the alarm clock to be deleted from the list and confirm the warning.
