The clock app of the iPhone is one of the fastest running apps on the iPhone. This phone attracts less love and attention than the app. While there are many novels and interesting alarm apps, Apple’s default offer remains quite basic and un–customizable.
With iOS 26, Apple is bringing adaptation to a very requested feature. Now you can finally get out of snooze gel. Until now, the period of snooze for the alarm was set for nine minutes, and you could not adjust it. It was either nine minutes or nothing.
I, personally, prefer to snooze in five minutes of increment. Therefore, I got around it by setting six separate alarms at an interval of five minutes to help waking up in the morning. But now, I can finally keep this chaos aside.
Snooze as per your wish

In iOS 26, which is currently in the developer beta (and will soon be out as a public beta preview), now you can determine the snooze period to walk anywhere between a minute (if you really want to annoy yourself), and 15 minutes (if the time is only a philosophical construction for you). Finally, I can set my snooze in that five -minute sweet place.
It is a matter of regret that these changes are on per-alarm basis, so you have to customize your snooze every time you set a new alarm. Hopefully, however, I will not have to set several alarms as before.
To customize your snooze period in iOS 26, open the clock app, go to Alarm Tab, and tap Plus Icon to create a new alarm. Or, you can tap on an already present an alarm.
What do you think so far?
Then, tap snooze duration Choose an option and any period between another 15 minutes. Tap Done Checkmark on top to save the new alarm.
The next time the alarm is closed, you will see a new alarm screen, with two equally large, snooze with beautiful buttons and stops. In the previous versions of the app, you will only see a snooze button in the middle and a small stop button below.
And hey, if you are a bit staunch, like my colleague soul, you can also completely disable the snooze button.
