Remove bedtime from alarm section iOS 13

This is the worst part of the update so far. It is taking me far too long to figure out how to set my alarm, hoping it will work, and the Bedtime alarm is so distracting, I have no idea why we can’t delete this. Help! I need this gone.

This has to be one of the most stupid things I've ever seen in my life... just enabled Bedtime "Wake Up Alarm" to test an automation, and then when I wanted to revert back to how it was before, there was the Bedtime Alarm that can't be removed, right on top of the alarm list, occupying space and just being useless! Come on Apple, how stupid is that? Let us remove that disabled alarm, how hard can it be???

This happened minutes ago, now trying to run total reset and restore of my iPhone to see if I can go back to how it was when last backup ran last night... hope this works!

I turned it on just to see what is was about. After a day I decided it was something I didn’t need or want. 1 hour later desperately searching on the net & I realise I CANNOT DELETE THIS ALARM! 🤦🏻 How stupid am I.

i think you are missing tbe point here

we all opened “Bedtime” to see what this feature was. None of us knew that it would irreversibly change the Alarm page like it did. That is the beef that most of us voicing our opinions share

so perhaps you should think a little harder before you post

Agree w/all posts, utterly disgusted w/the way the tech oligarchs cram their views of what we should like down our throats, then refuse to allow us change options. Part of their overall monopolistic control & excessive profiteering corporate strategies. Until we control & break them up, we remain a corporatocracy w/dependence on those who do not have our best interests in mind!

I never even set up a bedtime schedule. Yesterday I got a new iPhone 11 and somewhere in the process of setting up, it added the bedtime schedule on its own and now I can't get rid of it. This is an awful feature. Get rid of it, Apple!

I was horrified to find after using this that it silences phone calls. The only days each week that I used it are also the nights that I was on call at the hospital and most needed to hear my phone calls. I was very lucky that I noticed it before a shift where I got called in. I want it off my phone immediately. I’ve accidentally set it instead of the regular alarm a few times because of it similar appearance and primary location. It’s really bad for me.

Yeah, I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars on apple products over the years but I can say for sure that I’ve bought my last apple device. This push to things like Apple Pay, Bedtime, and Apple Music (taking iTunes away) has led me to this decision. It’s terrible that I as a consumer have no option to opt out of something or continue to use what works best for me and my family. Bottom line... I don’t trust Apple to protect me or even meet my needs.

It’s really shocking to me how many people have trouble with something like this. Apparently it’s been on my phone for a while, I literally never noticed it because I just scrolled down to find the alarm I need. We have users in here talking about how they missed important appointments and what not, but it sounds to me like some people just can’t take responsibility for their own actions. It takes about half a second to scroll up with your thumb. If something like this is really annoying some of you this much, I can’t even imagine what actual problems would do.

Well it does cause problems and the logic they have used is flawed, and the presentation is annoying when bedtime isn't active. My wife missed a very important meeting because of this and literally told me to get her new phone unless I could sort it out, just having the bedtime feature visible was unacceptable to her. I did argue that she was being unreasonable, but she then reminded me how the only time she ever missed a train was due to an alarm bug a while ago. I guess until it actually effects someone with tangible consequences its hard to empathise.

You seem to be focusing on the few who are voicing their problems, and ignoring the many that are only really upset that Apple continues to be more restrictive and regressive in their operating systems. The bedtime alarm is just a microcosm of the myriad of issues where Apple is forcing unwanted functionality on users and restricting them from having any customization and freedom within the iOS environment. But sure, let’s degrade the users who are having problems with this and accuse them of having no personal responsibility.

We buy these products to enhance our lives, make them easier, more enjoyable, and more connected. When a “feature” like bedtime alarm is forced upon users and they have no way to remove it without clearing all their settings, if is a problem, and Apple needs to address it in an update. Failure to do so shows a lack of awareness of the user’s complaints, and a lack of respect for the user’s ability to customize their own experience.

I agree. I did try using it once, and now I can’t remove the reminder. I’m afraid to do the settings reset because I have customized a lot on my phone. I also agree that Apple should have gotten rid of this feature within one update.

Also really annoying me are some of the changes in the photo editing settings. The crop and turn tool is much harder to use than the perfectly good old one, for example, and the automatic editing functions not user friendly—can’t figure out how to shut them off. Also, there are a few new nice editing capabilities, but things like the auto-correct worse than before (my opinion).

You should let Apple know about all of your concerns.

Personally, I love that Bedtime is now at the top of the list. It's easier to change and, it's resulted in far fewer posts from people who don't understand why their alarm is going off every morning when it turns out Bedtime has been turned on. It seems eminently logical to me.

Seriously? You have to reset your entire phone? How hard is it to make it like other alarms that can be deleted? Why is it so important to Apple that this annoyance be so difficult to remove?

No one here can answer questions about why Apple made a particular UI choice. You can let them know your thoughts here:

That's ok, there's always that one person... I can respect your very own personal taste. Unfortunately that's not helping all the other users who would very much prefer to be able to disable this feature after having enabled it, just like it is expected by most people for most features, enable/disable with a simple switch to restore the feature to its original status... you know, the usual stuff like 99.9% of iPhone features work ;)
