    • Tap the plus (+) button in the bottom-right corner to add a new alarm.
  3. Set the Time:

  4. Customize Alarm Settings (Optional):

    • Repeat: Choose if you want the alarm to repeat on specific days (e.g., weekdays, weekends, or custom days).
    • Label: You can label the alarm to specify its purpose (e.g., “Wake Up” or “Meeting Reminder”).
    • Sound: You can select a specific sound for your alarm, or choose from default ringtones or music stored on your device.
    • Vibration: Toggle on or off if you want the alarm to vibrate.
    • Snooze: You can also enable the snooze option if you like to snooze your alarm.
  5. Save the Alarm:

Method 2: Using Google Assistant

You can also set an alarm hands-free with Google Assistant.

    • Say "Hey Google" or press and hold the Home button to open Google Assistant.
  2. Set the Alarm:

    • Simply say, for example:
      • "Set an alarm for 7:00 AM."
      • "Set an alarm in 20 minutes."
      • "Set an alarm for tomorrow at 8 AM."
  3. Confirmation:

    • Google Assistant will confirm your request, and the alarm will be set for the specified time.

Checking and Turning Off the Alarm

  • To check or modify an alarm, open the Clock app and tap the Alarm tab.
  • To turn off the alarm, tap the switch next to the alarm or swipe it to delete or adjust it.

Tips for Managing Alarms

  • Multiple Alarms: You can set multiple alarms for different times and purposes. Just repeat the steps above to add more alarms.
  • Alarm Sound: Make sure to choose an alarm sound that’s loud enough for you to hear, especially if you need it for waking up.
  • Volume Settings: Check your phone’s volume settings to ensure the alarm sound is loud enough to wake you up. You can adjust the alarm volume through the Settings > Sound.
