However, don’t overuse the features otherwise your iPhone SE might get hot!
Keeping that in mind, here’s how you can customize your alarms depending on your preferences.
Repeat Your Alarms:
If you want your alarms to repeat every day or a few specific days, you can do that easily. Press the Edit button on the top-right corner and you will see a Repeat button.
Check the days you want your alarm to be repeated and save the settings.
Label Your Alarms:
Using a label for your alarm can help you to organize the alarms properly. To label your alarm, first press the edit button and then press on the Label option.
Now, choose your preferred label for that particular alarm and save it.
If you have multiple alarms, then you will be able to find this alarm just by searching the label from now on.
Change Alarm Sound:
If you’re like me, then you probably don’t like to wake up to a harsh alarm sound at all. For those who prefer a specific sound to wake up, the alarm has the option to change the sound.
Click on the Sound option and choose what you prefer after listening to it. Moreover, you will be able to pick a song as your alarm tone.
You can also set the vibration setting from here as well. So, the sound you want will be the sound you hear whenever you wake up!
Delete Your Alarm:
Last but not least, you might need to delete your alarm on some occasions. You can do that easily in two ways.
The first method involves just holding the alarm and swiping left. You will get a delete button and once the button is pressed, the alarm will be deleted.
The second method is to go to the edit section and press the Delete Alarm button.
Both processes are very easy to follow. Just choose the one which you are comfortable with!
