iOS 26 introduces customizable snooze for easier mornings
Tired of the same old nine-minute snooze? With iOS 26, Apple is letting you choose how long you want to snooze—anywhere from one to 15 minutes. Just edit your alarm and set the interval that actually works for you.
TL;DR
Why the snooze interval is 9 minutes
The classic nine-minute snooze comes from old-school mechanical clocks, where a perfect 10-minute setting was tough to pull off. Now, Apple's giving everyone more flexibility to wake up their own way.
iOS 26 is currently in developer beta
iOS 26 is in developer beta right now, with a public beta coming soon and the full release expected this fall. If you've been wanting more control over your alarms, this update is made for you.
