Alarm on iPhone

Why do I have to leave what I am doing on my iPhone to turn off the alarm? When the widget comes up or alarm goes off it takes me to the Alarm screen. I would really appreciate the ability to turn off the alarm in the background or from the pop up without having to go to the Alarm screen and interrupt what I am doing.

Alarm Clock Icon When I set my alarm on my (previous) iPhone, I’d see a small icon top-right on my screen. This let me know at a glance if I have activated my alarm. On my iPhone 14 Pro, the active alarm clock icon is gone. Question: Has this handy feature been eliminated on newer phones (i.e., “progress”), or … Is this a setting that I can control manually, and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

Several alarms going off on my iPhone I tried to set a simple wake up alarm on my phone this week and was informed I had to set up the SLEEP APP. I do not want to do that at this time. However I now have several alarms going off. How do I get my device to the point where I can set up an ALARM without the intrusiveness of Sleep APP [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can I dismiss an alarm before it goes off? I would like to be able to dismiss my morning alarm if I wake up before it goes off, without having to turn the alarm off and then back on once the alarm time has passed. Is this possible? Is there any app I can download that has this feature? I loved this feature with my android and used it often. It is so helpful to be able to prompt an alarm to avoid disturbing others that are still sleeping without having to remember to reset your alarm every day.

THANK YOU! I had no idea if I pulled down the alarm window I could turn it off! I thought that was a very Un-Apple inefficiency! This GIF is cool! How do you make them?

thanks!

this will Really decrease my frustration!
