Managing your alarms on Android devices can sometimes be a bit tricky, especially if you’re in a hurry and need to turn it off quickly. Whether you’re trying to silence a persistent wake-up call or a reminder alarm, this guide will walk you through the steps to turn off those alarms effectively.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how you can easily turn off your alarm:
Open the Clock App:
Locate the Clock app on your Android device. It usually has a clock icon. You can find it in your app drawer or on your home screen.
Go to the Alarms Tab:
Once you open the Clock app, look for the ‘Alarms’ section. This is typically represented by a bell icon or a section labeled “Alarms” at the bottom of the screen.
Find the Active Alarm:
In the Alarms section, you’ll see a list of all your set alarms. Look for the alarm that you wish to turn off. Active alarms are usually highlighted or marked in some way.
Toggle the Alarm Off:
Next to the alarm time, there will be a toggle switch. Simply tap this switch to turn the alarm off. The alarm should no longer ring as scheduled.
Delete the Alarm (Optional):
If you won’t need this alarm again, you can also choose to delete it entirely. To do this, tap on the alarm you wish to remove and select the option to delete it (usually a trash can icon or a ‘delete’ button).
Additional Tips
If your phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb mode, your alarm will still ring unless you’ve specifically set it not to.
Remember that Android interfaces can vary slightly depending on your device. If you can’t find the settings mentioned, check the help section specific to your device model.
Consider setting vibration on for your alarms; this can be handy if you tend to sleep through the sound of your alarms.

Yes, laceymarquez, I frequently forget that too! Another tip is to keep the alarm at a different volume level than notifications; it makes it less likely to be silenced.
