### Alarms Introduce Option for Personalized Snooze Durations in iOS 26
Every day, millions awaken to their iPhone’s alarm and have adapted to the standard 9-minute snooze interval. However, with iOS 26, you can now select the exact duration for which you want to snooze alarms.
The built-in Clock app serves as the primary tool for most iPhone users in setting their daily alarms, making it the default choice. Yet, one prominent feature has been absent for years: the option to customize snooze durations. Traditionally, alarms could only be snoozed in 9-minute segments. Many users have simply adapted to this restriction and sometimes set multiple alarms considering this snooze time.
With iOS 26, Apple has granted users a level of snooze control that was previously unavailable. Now, each alarm you configure can possess its unique custom snooze duration. You can select any snooze interval ranging from 1 minute to 15 minutes. The default remains at 9 minutes, but adjusting it is straightforward. Additionally, if desired, this snooze setting can vary for each alarm you create. Based on the significance of an alarm on a particular day, you can opt for a shorter or longer snooze duration than usual.
In summary, while this may seem like a minor change for most, it could greatly enhance the experience for those who have long desired greater flexibility in snoozing. Have you started to implement the new snooze durations for your alarms in iOS 26? Share your thoughts in the comments.
