Using Siri on your iPhone or iPad to set, edit or delete alarms is a much faster and easier process than poking, prodding, and navigating around an iPhone touchscreen, last thing at night.
With Siri, just climb into bed and ask to be woken up at a certain time.
In this article, we trigger Siri using the “Hey Siri” voice command. Did you know there are other methods available, depending on your device? You can read about them all in our how to use Siri guide.
Hey Siri, set an alarm for tomorrow at 7am
Hey Siri, wake me at 7 in the morning

Siri is intelligent enough to understand natural speech and phrases, so you don’t have to be specific with times and dates, it will know when ‘tomorrow’ or ‘two hours time’ is.
Hey Siri, wake me in an hour
Once you’ve made your request, Siri will then confirm the time you wish to be woken and set the alarm for you.

Slightly more complex alarms can also be be set:
Hey Siri, set an alarm for 8.45am that repeats every Saturday
Hey Siri, wake me up every Monday at 9am

You cannot set the alarm for more than one day in the future. If you try to specify a date outside of that range, Siri will offer to create a reminder for you instead.
Naming an alarm
It can help to give context to an alarm.
Hey Siri, set a work alarm
Hey Siri, set my alarm for 9am every day to call my Dad
Hey Siri, set my alarm for 7pm to watch Stranger Things

Ask Siri to read out alarms
You can ask Siri to read out specific alarms or all alarms you have set, including its on/off status.
Hey Siri, read my alarms
Hey Siri, show all alarms
Hey Siri, read my 2pm alarm
Hey Siri, read my work alarm
Editing an existing alarm
You can enable and disable existing alarms:
Hey Siri, turn on/off my 7am alarm
Hey Siri, enable/disable all alarms
To change the time of an existing alarm:
Hey Siri, change my 7am alarm to 7.30am
Alternatively, if you’ve named an alarm:
Hey Siri, change my watch Stranger Things alarm to 8pm

Snoozing and stopping alarms
If you want to stay in bed a little longer (9 minutes to be precise), then say:
Hey Siri, snooze
To silence an alarm completely:
Hey Siri, stop
Deleting Alarms
Whenever you ask Siri to ‘Set an alarm’ or ‘wake me’ it actually creates a brand new alarm each time. If you tend to add alarms on an ad hoc basis this can result in a very long list of alarms clogging up your app.
In this instance you can remedy the issue by wiping all alarms from your device:
Hey Siri, delete all alarms
You can also delete alarms by name.
Hey Siri, delete the Stranger Things alarm

While being able to use Siri to set alarms isn’t precisely touted as a headline feature in iOS, it is one of the most useful.
