Create Alarms from the iPhone’s Homescreen

In this video, we’re going to look at how we can easily create an alarm from our home screen on the iPhone. We do this through the Clock app icon. Let’s see what I mean. Let’s go to my iPhone.

Let’s say I wanted to create an alarm to create an alarm. I would go to my Clock app, so I swipe over to the left and then we go over to our Clock app. Now, what I could do is tap on this, and then I make sure I’m looking at my Alarms and then I go over to the plus, but there’s an easier way to create an alarm. I’m going to go back to my home screen. I swipe up from the bottom here and now I want to create an alarm.

To do that. All we have to do is just long press or press and hold on the Clock icon. When we press and hold, we’re going to get a menu that pops up. Now, we don’t want to press and hold on it too long. If we do that, I’m going to long press or press and hold, if I keep holding on it, we get our Edit mode where I can edit my home screen. That’s not what I want to do. You may have noticed that when I went and long pressed on this, I had a little menu. That’s what I want. Now, what I do is I go up to Create Alarm. When I do this, it’s automatically going to open up the Clock app and it’s going to create a new alarm for me.

So all I have to do is just type in the time. So now let’s create an alarm and we can see it’s all set for me to type in the time. So I’m going to set it for eight. I tap on this, we go with eight. I make sure I’m looking at PM, and now all I have to do is just tap on Save, and I will have an alarm for 8:00 PM.

So that’s how we can easily create an alarm directly from our home screen. All we have to do is just long press on the Clock app icon. When we long press on it, we have a little menu that pops up and we select Create Alarm. The Clock app will open and it’ll automatically take us to where we can create an alarm.

So that’s how we can easily create an alarm from our home screen on the iPhone.
