I’ve been using the default clock app on Samsung phones as my alarm(s), for almost two decades.
A recent update has changed the ‘upcoming alarm’ notification. You have the option to dismiss/shut off an alarm that’s supposed to sound in the next 5-30min via that notification; but a recent update has changed that to dismiss ALL upcoming alarms for the entire day, as well as every upcoming alarm for future days if they’re set for the same time.
I used to have a sporadic work schedule with varying start times; so I’d set/schedule my alarms for the next week or two in advance. If I set one for 8am tomorrow and one for 8am four days from now; dismissing that first alarm at 7:40am also dismisses the one that’s four days away…
If I set alarms for 8am, 10am, and noon today; dismissing the first one at 7:45 dismisses all three alarms together…
There is no options to change this, the only related setting is for how early that ‘upcoming alarm’ notification shows up (5, 15, or 30min)
What alarm app do you use? Got a recommendation?
/edit
People seem to be misunderstanding me. I don’t have trouble waking up/snoozing alarms too much.
I just need a typical alarm app, but one that doesn’t dismiss a bunch of unrelated alarms instead of just the one that’s supposed to go off very soon.
I was just curious if people had a particular one they liked.
Check out Sleep. I needed it because I have a horrible tendency to turn off my alarms without waking up. Even when they’re across the room. This one can have a password or some simple math problems for you to solve so you can’t turn it off until you’re at least awake enough to 6x7+3
It also has a setting for low intensity alarms that can increase over time on a gradient that you set. This made waking up way less traumatic than the blaring sirens it used to require when I was a teen or worked cancerous shifts that started and 1 am and the like. Eventually over time I reduced the alarm down to just a vibrate with no sound, and I often wake up as soon as it starts at its quietest.
Your sleep habits are a thing you can cultivate and it’s amazing what they do for your mental health
