We've been covering all the news Apple announced atWWDC 2025, but possibly the most exciting element coming toiOS 26wasn't discussed on stage. The next update to the operating system will let people set custom snooze times.MacRumorsreported that iOS 26 will offer anywhere from one to 15 minute snoozes that users can select when setting the alarm.
For years, Apple has kept the snooze timing locked at nine minutes. If you wanted to doze at a different interval, you'd need to set separate alarms or use a different app than the iPhone's built-in Clock. It was an odd choice for Apple to not allow personal preferences on this aspect of its smartphones, so anyone who's been frustrated by the nine-minute restriction will have a little extra treat to look forward to in the mornings when iOS 26 becomespublicly availablethis fall. And since there's been some recentresearchshowing that snoozing may not be a terrible thing, we can take full advantage with zero guilt.
