They have never included that feature as that ability is included in the Calendar. There are some clock apps in the App Store that let you do that.

Can't set same day alarm on iPhone after recent update I wanted to set an alarm for later the same day and my only option is that time- tomorrow. I've tried everything and it seems you can no longer set the alarm for same day. Why do this? It serves no practical purpose from what I can see. Is there a fix? If not, iPhone needs to change this back.

iPhone alarm clock, with date? One of the peculiariities of the iPhone clock is that you can only set an alarm by TIME and not by DATE. That is, if I want an alarm to go off in two days at a particular time, the iPhone Clock won't do it for me. So how do I make that happen? I understand that I can schedule events in my calendar, and that I can set it up to issue notifications, but on one event I want an audio alert tone - BEEP!, and the rest I'm happy with maybe just a banner notification. How do I select, for any given event, what kind of notification I want for just that event?

Setting iphone alarms for the first day of every month How can you do this on an iphone? Apparently the answer is that you can't. Why not? What is Apple doing with their trillions of dollars? I don't have enough money to take over Apple but I do have enough money, and appropriate friends, to get their attention if they don't start doing a better job on obvious things like this. So if Apple does not add this feature to the Apple native Alarm App by 1/1/24, then I will take action for all the other iphone users who just have to suffer in silence. If someone knows a 3rd party App that will do this, please respond. Thank you.

Sorry, I use the Clock alarms (meets my needs) and Calendar if I need to set one for a later date.

I did download the Galarm and it does not ring sometimes. I would really appreciate it if you could recommend me an alarm app that would have dates and rings every time
