How do I set my alarm on my iphone to go off every 3 hours

I follow all the steps to do this but when I go to “repeat” I can’t find the word “custom” to set the alarm to go off every 3 hours. I need help

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

There is no "custom" recurrance option in the Alarms feature of the Clock app. Therefore, you would need to set a series of 8 alarms, 3 hours apart, and then set each of them to Repeat on the days of week where you want them to occcur.


Its possible that you could use something like the prescriptions remonders in the Health app to give you more flexability in recurring reminders: Track your medications in Health on iPhone - Apple Support
