### Alarms Can Feature Custom Snooze Durations in iOS 26
Every day, millions awaken to their iPhone’s alarm, depending on the standard 9-minute snooze duration. However, with the forthcoming iOS 26, Apple is rolling out a long-anticipated feature: the option to establish custom snooze durations for alarms.
For the majority of iPhone users, Apple’s built-in Clock app is the primary choice for setting daily alarms. Even though it’s widely used, it has been unable to provide the flexibility of custom snooze durations for years, confining users to snoozing alarms in 9-minute blocks. Many have adjusted to this constraint, frequently setting several alarms to fit their snooze preferences.
In iOS 26, users will at last have control over snooze durations. Each alarm can now feature its own custom snooze interval, varying from 1 minute to 15 minutes. While the default remains at 9 minutes, modifying it is simple. Users can customize the snooze duration according to the significance of the alarm, permitting shorter or longer snooze periods as desired.
Although this update may appear small, it could greatly improve the user experience for those who have long sought greater flexibility in their morning routines. iOS 26 is currently in a developer beta phase and is expected to launch for all users this autumn.
As users gear up for this update, many may ponder how they will apply the new snooze duration features. Will you make use of this capability in iOS 26?
