Get ready for a small yet mighty upgrade on your iPhone! iOS 26.1 is bringing a simple yet effective change to the way you handle alarms. Say goodbye to accidentally tapping the 'stop' button and hello to a new 'slide to stop' feature. This subtle tweak ensures you won't be rudely awakened by a snooze mistake!
The orange 'snooze' button remains unchanged, but now sits above a slider, offering a more deliberate way to turn off your alarm. This change also applies to timers, making it a consistent and intuitive experience.
But here's where it gets controversial... some might argue that this new feature is a step backwards, as it requires a different gesture than what we're used to. Do you think it's an improvement or a nuisance?
iOS 26.1 is currently in beta, and we can expect its release later this month. So, will this small change make a big impact on your daily routine? Let us know in the comments!
And this is the part most people miss... iOS 26.1 isn't just about alarms. It also brings new features and improvements to Apple Intelligence and Live Translation on compatible AirPods, as well as minor updates across Apple Music, Calendar, Photos, and Safari.
So, are you excited for these upcoming changes? Or do you prefer the simplicity of the previous versions? Share your thoughts and join the discussion!
