Why Are Nine Minutes Snooze Time?
It is not possible to change iPhone snooze times, and snooze times are fixed at nine minutes. You might feel that this nine-minute period of time is long if you sleep heavily, or it might seem short-lived if you usually need a little more time.
Why do iPhones have a nine-minute snooze time by default? There is no explanation for Apple’s decision to stick with the nine-minute snooze interval when the iPhone does not have such a limitation.
Although unofficial sources, including Apple Explained, claim that mechanical alarm clocks cause the snooze time. Because it was impossible to align the clock’s gear teeth for a ten-minute snooze back then, they settled on a nine-minute snooze instead.
How To Change iPhone Snooze Time Via Multiple Alarms?
Since the iPhone’s Clock app does not allow you to adjust the snooze interval, you may be able to work around the issue by setting multiple alarms at your preferred snooze intervals. However, you may have to disable the snooze function in order to keep your alarms and snoozes separate.
The following steps will guide you through setting multiple alarms as an alternative to changing the iPhone’s snooze time:
- First, open the Clock app on your iPhone.
- At the bottom, click the Alarm button.
- Then click the + (plus) icon in the upper right corner to create a new alarm.
- Using the left and center sliders, enter your preferred wake-up time.
- From the slider on the right, choose AM or PM.
- You can disable snooze by clicking the Snooze toggle. The toggle is gray when the snooze button is disabled.
- In the upper right-hand corner, tap Save.
- In the same way, you can set up as many alarms as you need at your preferred snooze interval.
You will now have to wait until your next alarm goes off before turning off your first one.
