The update is expected to ship to all users\u00a0later this month.<\/p>\n<p>When iOS 26 arrived in September, it brought a notable redesign to the screen when your alarm goes off.<\/p>\n<p>Alarm screens now show huge buttons for snoozing and dismissing the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>But some have reported the new design makes it too easy to dismiss an alarm, and iOS 26.1 addresses that feedback directly.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the alarm screen in iOS 26.1 beta 2 utilizes a new \u2018Slide to stop\u2019 feature.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of just hitting a giant button to stop your alarm, you\u2019ll now have to perform a swipe gesture instead.<\/p>\n<p>This works just like the classic iPhone \u2018Slide to unlock\u2019 gesture, so many longtime iOS users should find it easy to get used to.<\/p>\n<p>The same \u2018Slide to stop\u2019 gesture is required for dismissing timers too, despite those perhaps not having the same issue of accidental dismissals.<\/p>\n<p>Since this is only a beta release, it\u2019s possible Apple only intends to gauge feedback on the change before shipping it publicly. As a result, it might not make it to the final shipping version of iOS 26.1.<\/p>\n<p>Do you like this alarm change in iOS 26.1? Why or why not?
