How to Create an Alarm on the iPhone SE

Your iPhone SE has a lot of features that are accessible through app downloads, but there are a bunch that are on the device by default. One of these is a feature-rich Clock app, so you might be wondering how to create an alarm on your iPhone SE.

The ease with which you can set an alarm on a smartphone, coupled with the fact that our phones are often near us when we go to sleep at night, makes them a perfect choice as an alarm clock substitute.

But there isn’t a specific “Alarm” or “Alarm Clock” app on your iPhone SE, which can leave you wondering how exactly to go about creating an alarm on the device.

iPhone SE Alarm Options

The options on the alarm menu are:

  • Repeat – allows you to specify the days on which you want the alarm to go off. If you don’t select a day, then the alarm will only go off once, at the next occurrence of the time you specified.
  • Label – you can set a name for the alarm to help you identify it later, if you intend to have multiple alarms.
  • Sound – the tone that plays when the alarm goes off.
  • Snooze – whether or not you would like to have the option to snooze the alarm.
