Change the Default Snooze Duration for Your Alarms

The classic iPhone snooze has been 9 minutes since forever. However, not everyone’s brain runs on 9-minute intervals. iOS 26 finally lets you set the snooze duration on a per-alarm basis. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open the Clock app.
2. Tap on the Alarms tab at the bottom.
3. Tap an existing alarm or create a new one.
4. Tap on Snooze Duration.
5. Pick the number of minutes you actually want.
6. When you’re done, tap the checkmark in the top right corner of your screen.

The Clock app only lets you set it between 1 and 15 minutes. Additionally, this change won’t affect the snooze time for all your alarms — you’ll need to repeat these steps for each one.
