How to change Snooze Time on iPhone

Want to know how to change snooze time on iPhone 6 or 7? We have some clever workarounds to help you get more time before your alarm goes off. While there is no proper way to change the default nine-minute snooze time on your iPhone 6 and 7, you can find several ways to reduce it or make it longer.

Apple has maintained the nine-minute snooze time with all iOS versions. iPhone 6 has a clock that has a nine-minute snooze interval, just like old mechanical clocks. You cannot change this snooze time on iPhone 7 or 6. Also, you cannot reset the iPhone’s default nine-minute snooze time. This writeup will show you how to change the snooze time setting on iPhone 5, 6, 6s, and 7. The procedure is the same for all models.

Creating multiple alarms to set your own snooze time

Multiple iPhone alarms are the best way to change your snooze time. People will go to sleep within 10 minutes. Nine minutes is the norm.

  • Open the Clock app in the Apps section on your iPhone 7 or whatever model you have.
  • Press the + icon in the upper-right corner of your screen, under the Alarms tab.
  • You can create a new alarm by moving the clock up and down. You could use 6:15 AM as an example.
  • To turn it off, tap on the slider near Snooze.
  • Repeat steps 2 to 4 to set up multiple alarms at Your Own Snooze Time. You can choose to have alarms at 6:20 AM or 6:25 AM, or 6:30 AM.
  • This will generate multiple alarms and can be used just like the customizable snooze feature on your iPhone.

Alarm clocks from third-party apps

Third-party iPhone alarm apps allow you to set up and change customizable snooze alarms. This allows you to bypass Apple’s alarm system completely. Third-party apps are available if you don’t like the idea of setting up multiple alarms.

The App Store only offers a few third-party iPhone alarm apps with configurable snooze settings to change it according to your need. For a more precise snooze time, you can download any one of these apps. These are the top apps you will find in the App Store.
