How to Cancel Your Android Alarms

This article explains how to cancel your Android alarms. Additional information covers how to turn off alarms on your Wear device. Instructions apply to Android 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4.4, as well as the Wear operating system.

How to Turn Off Alarms on Android 10

Even though the Android OS has changed drastically over the years, most of the basic functions have remained the same. On Android 5.0 and up, do the following:

1. Launch the Clock app.

2. If you don't see your alarms, tap Alarm.

3. Tap the toggle switch next to the alarm you wish to turn off. When the alarm is off, the switch is grayed out.

   For Android 6.0 and 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), tap the Down arrow instead, then tap Dismiss.

How to Change and Delete Android Alarms

If you tap the time for an individual alarm, you can change certain settings such as the alarm sound and frequency. To permanently delete an alarm, tap the three-dot menu above your alarms and select Delete from the pop-up window, then choose the alarms you want to get rid of and tap the trashcan. Alternatively, select Settings to manage general settings for all alarms.

How to Cancel Alarms in Android 4.4

For Android 4.4 (KitKat), things look a bit different. Under your alarms, you should see an option labeled Dismiss Now. Tap the X next to it to cancel your alarm.

How to Cancel Alarms in Wear (formerly Wear OS)

For Android watches (Wear), the steps are fairly similar:

1. Open the Alarm app.

2. Tap the time you want to cancel.

3. Tap Dismiss or swipe right.
