How to turn off wake up alarm on iphone

I've updated my phone to IOS10, one of the features I quite like is the bedtime app (and no longer needing a 3rd party app). Whilst the features are pretty easy to figure out I can't seem to figure out... how to turn off the Bedtime app alarm if you wake up before it?

E.g I woke up before the app, left the room, came back and the alarm was going off. Ideally I wanted to stop it before it started.

After you create one or more sleep schedules, you can turn them all off at once. When all sleep schedules are turned off, iPhone doesn’t enter Sleep mode, and scheduled wake up alarms are turned off.

  1. Tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Sleep.
  2. Scroll down to Your Schedule.
  3. Tap Full Schedule & Options, then turn off Sleep Schedule (at the top of the screen).You can turn them all on again later.

    To turn off a Wake Up alarm, tap on it in the Clock app and scroll down to turn off the toggle. After tapping on Done, select Change Next Alarm Only or Change This Schedule. Tapping on the latter will open up the Health app where more changes to a particular sleep schedule can be made. If a user wants to turn off the Wake Up alarm entirely, they will need to tap on the Change button, and then Edit Sleep Schedule in Health. In the Health app, users can either delete a particular sleep schedule on an iPhone, or turn off all Sleep Schedules by tapping on the green toggle.

    Ever since smartphones came into being, the one thing they’ve undoubtedly replaced is an alarm clock. If you own an iPhone, you can use the Clock app to set any number of alarms with ease for several occasions throughout the day. The app lets you configure the alarm time, tone, how often it’s repeated, and if you wish to have the Snooze option to delay them. 

    If you want to turn off alarms you’ve set, the following post should help you disable and remove both regular alarms and wake-up alarms on your iPhone.

    How to turn off regular alarm on iPhone

    By default, when you add alarms on the Clock app or when you ask Siri to do it for you, you are essentially creating regular alarms. You can create any number of alarms on your iPhone and you can configure them to repeat on one or more days of the week. To turn off these alarms on your iPhone, open the Clock app on iOS. 

    Inside Clock, tap on the Alarm tab at the bottom. 

    Once the app opens, under “Other” scroll to the alarm you want to disable. Alarms that are currently active will have a green-colored toggle on their right-hand side. To turn them off, tap on this toggle. 

    When you do that, the toggle will switch to the off position and will turn from green to grey.

    The selected alarm will no longer ring at the set time even if it was configured to repeat on another day.  

    How to turn off the Wake-Up alarm inside your sleep schedule

    Besides regular alarms, you can create wake-up alarms alongside your sleep schedule for any given day.

    Method #1: Using the Clock app

    If you want to turn off your next upcoming Wake-Up, you can use the Clock app to quickly turn it off on your iPhone. For this, open the Clock app on iOS. 

    Inside Clock, tap on the Alarm tab at the bottom. 

    Now, check if you can see your next alarm under “Sleep | Wake Up”. If there’s an active alarm visible, tap on Change on its right-hand side. 

    In the Change Wake Up screen that appears, scroll down and turn off the Alarm toggle under “Alarm Options”. 

    To confirm changes, tap on Done at the top right corner. 

    You’ll now see a prompt on your screen asking whether you wish to turn off this alarm for now or disable this permanently for this sleep schedule. If you only wish to turn off the next Wake Up alarm without it affecting your sleep schedule, select Change Next Alarm Only. 

    Clock will now disable the next wake-up alarm on your iPhone temporarily. 

    Method #2: Using the Health app

    If you want to turn off a Wake-Up alarm inside any one of your sleep schedules, you can do that only inside Apple’s Health app. For this, open the Health app on your iPhone. 

    Inside Health, tap on the Browse tab at the bottom right corner. 

    On this screen, scroll down and select Sleep. 

    Inside the Sleep screen, scroll down to “Your Schedule” and tap on the Full Schedule & Options box. 


    You can also arrive here by opening the Clock app on your iPhone. 

    Inside Clock, go to the Alarm tab at the bottom and tap on Change adjacent to your next Wake Up alarm. 

    On the next screen, scroll down and tap on Edit Sleep Schedule in Health. 


    You’ll now see the Full Schedule screen inside the Health app. 

    Under “Full Schedule”, tap on Edit underneath the sleep schedule whose alarm you want to turn off. 

    Inside the Edit Your Schedule screen, turn off the Alarm toggle under “Alarm Options”. 

    To confirm changes, tap on Done at the top right corner. 

    The Wake-Up alarm for the selected sleep schedule will now be disabled permanently as it’ll appear greyed out inside the selected sleep schedule. 

    You can repeat the above steps to disable Wake Up alarms for other speed schedules you have configured on the Health app. 

    How to remove alarms on iPhone

    If you wish to remove an alarm and not just turn it off, you can do that using the Clock and Health apps on your iPhone.

    If you want to remove multiple alarms from Clock, tap on Edit at the top left corner. 

    Now, tap on the red minus (-) icon on the left-hand side of the alarm you want to remove. 

    Next, tap on Delete on the right to remove it. 

    You can repeat these steps to remove more alarms from Clock. When you’re done removing unwanted alarms, tap on Done at the top left corner to confirm changes. 

    Method #2: Remove a Wake-Up alarm

    If you have a sleep schedule configured on your iPhone, you can remove its alarm from the Health app. For this, open the Health app on your iPhone. 

    Inside Health, tap on the Browse tab at the bottom right corner. 

    On this screen, scroll down and select Sleep. 

    Inside the Sleep screen, scroll down to “Your Schedule” and tap on the Full Schedule & Options box.
