Here’s a tutorial on how to get rid of unneeded alarms on iPhone – the fast way! As you may know, there is the traditional method of deleting an alarm and it takes quite a few steps to accomplish.

How to delete an alarm more quickly

Open up your “Clock” app and navigate to the “Alarm” section. Here’s the list of all of your current alarms.

This should make the respective alarm entry slide to the left and reveal a “Delete” button. Tap “Delete” to get rid of the alarm.

When editing alarms, always verify whether your essential alarms are still in place to avoid nasty surprises or sweet but inappropriate snoozing.
