Alarm clock has changed to allow for mistakes

sherribearri · Jun 4, 2015

I don't think I'm going crazy. I'm pretty sure prior to today, I had to swipe my screen to shut off my alarm. This morning I see that now I have to push "OK" on the screen to turn off alarm. Which is RIGHT NEXT to snooze. Nooooo!! This is very very risky and will definitely cause me to oversleep. I don't know about anyone else, but I do use the snooze button. I don't know what to do now. Do I need to go out and buy an alarm clock? Please put the alarm clock back the way it was!! Any comments on this subject?

Swipe to shut off alarm will appear when the iPhone is locked.

Your screenshot shows an unlocked device, that's why the alarm appears this way.

If you want to keep sliding to shut off the alarm, simply keep your iPhone locked.

This is what the alarm looks like on the lock screen.

Swiping, tapping, almost throwing. Nothing works on mine. The only way I can shut it off is by either placing my finger on the sensor, or grabbing the off button. Pain in the bootie each morning. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd try to figure out what is going on. Every morning the dang thing goes off for at least 10 seconds while I try and figure out how to shut it off. Wifey's mad at me by then. "Don't you know how to work your stupid iPhone yet?"

As for snooze? I haven't used snooze since my teenage days
