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.

This is a change since the IOS update I did last week. I've been using the clock for years. If I look at it right now, the default is tomorrow. So if I want to set the alarm for later today, it's impossible. If I ask to change it, it takes me to a clock with bedtime and wake up aligned with my sleep schedule which I had played with on my health app. It is totally bizarre....
Okay, you're not using the Clock alarm, you're using Sleep to set the alarm.
Do NOT tap the "Change" button. That is how you change your sleep schedule. Tap the "+" in the upper right corner.

That is brilliant. Thank you. I wasn't aware of the distinction. Thank you so much!!
If my phone wasn't in the correct time zone, then I wouldn't see my local time. So that isn't it
I have no problem setting an alarm for the same day. The easiest way is to use Siri. But, if you'd rather not, it will still work through the Clock app. In fact, there's no way in the alarm app to specify a date. If the time has not yet occurred today, when you set the alarm, it will go off today. So, if I set an alarm for 12:00pm, it will go off today. If, however, I set it for 9:30am (a time already past today), it will go off tomorrow.
Can you describe the steps you're taking to set the alarm?

You're not the first person to have had that problem. That's why I suspected what the answer was. ;-)
Ensure your iPhone's time zone is correctly set. Sometimes, if there's a discrepancy between your actual time and the time set on your phone, it can affect the alarm setting.
