Remove bedtime from alarm section iOS 13

It is ridiculous that I would have to go thru a complete reset to remove this horrible accessory. I have it off but it is just a pain and waste. I am hoping Apple is reading this. Please allow us to delete the bed time function!

After I reset my settings,Will I have to reset ALL of my settings or just some.???

"Reset All Settings" does exactly what it says. It resets ALL the settings on your phone back to factory state.

I live in Nashville and missed tornado warnings because of the bedtime setting. If we could make this option removable my family’s lives would appreciate it. Something like warnings I think should still cone through but for now I just want to remove it or move it to the bottom of the clock page.

I think you can change that setting to come through anytime...I've been woken up by alerts several times. Try Settings->Notifications->Government alerts (all the way at the bottom) and you can toggle them on or off.

How does the Bedtime setting prevent you from getting warnings? Official emergency alerts override any DND settings.

But, why not turn it off if it concerns you? There's a little switch next to the Bedtime alarm in Alarms. Move it to off.

Thanks. It does work, however the alarm reappears after some time and you cannot reset settings each time as it resets all your settings back to default and requires a fair bit of time to get them all back to your personalised ones. Apple needs to take it off. It’s irritating.

You should always buy the device that best meets your needs. If that's not an iPhone, don't buy an iPhone.

Meanwhile, if you generally get up at the same time, either use actually use Bedtime or create a recurring alarm. If you don't have a regular wake up time, set the alarm by asking Siri to set an alarm for you. Siri won't accidentally turn on Bedtime but will set (or turn on an existing alarm) for whatever time you specify.

Why the **** would anyone need a Bedtime Alarm anyway!? Yet, it is impossible to delete from my present IOS. And, on top of that they prioritize the Bedtime Alarm so it appears on the top of the screen. Apple! Please get your act together and nuke this useless alarm altogether!

I would like to delete this also but if I do what in my setting will I lose? I don’t want to be loosing all my info. So could someone let me know what will be deleted If you do the reset? Thank you

If you reset all settings, you will not lose any data. You will lose things like ringtone settings, wallpaper settings.

Agreed that this is super annoying. I accidentally set up a Bedtime when I was trying to set up a radio - alarm clock connection (that didn't work either BTW). And now I can't get rid of Bedtime! I just want it to go back to the way it was 5 minutes ago! So I am resetting all my settings. I will have to set everything back up again, but it is worth it to get rid of this feature which I could turn ON but can't turn OFF!

A lot of these replies are personal problems. However, many could have been avoided if Apple actually reads the **** forums and take note on providing clearer User Interfaces.

Before knowing what the problem was, I set it up out of curiosity. I quickly understood there was no easy way of deleting it off my alarm list.

Simple solution, since it is just an “advanced alarm”, give us an option to delete it. Some may use the feature but curious others such as myself, shouldn’t feel locked into or out of anything on our personal phones.

It's funny Apple removed my post for vulgarity. The vulgar word I used in my description was "stupid". Last time I checked, that word was not on the vulgar list ! Incredible. I did followup and post my request for a feature update on Apple's iPhone feedback site. Thanks.

The Reset All Settings workaround no longer works in iOS 14. The person responsible for Bedtime at Apple discovered that we were getting rid of it, and she talked the developers into fixing it in concrete. Apple is saying, "You may not remove that annoying Bedtime banner at the top of your alarms ever — under any circumstances. So there."

I would really love to know (and maybe learn something) why this is so important for Apple... what is it about "bedtime" alarm that is so vital for them that they actually took time and effort over time and several IOS versions to make it more and more unavoidable and now to make it a permanently visible on top and unmovable feature on the Clock/Alarm section. I'm pretty sure there must be a reason, a great motivation... it costs time and money to make these changes, so they wouldn't just do it "just because"... I can see a future when one will have to enable Bedtime alarm to logon to the iPhone... who knows? Looks like it's heading that way... ;)

No one here in this user-to-user forum is going to be able to do anything but speculate and that's prohibited. You could try to contact Apple and ask. However, I suspect most customer-facing employees won't be able to give you anything more than a canned answer.
