Make lock screen alarm buttons smaller

Bjami Said:

"Make lock screen alarm buttons smaller: The new lock screen in iOS26 introduced really large buttons for the lock screen. Twice now I have accidentally turned off my alarm instead of snoozing. This is a deal breaker - I cannot accidentally oversleep. How do I revert the button sizes?"

Changing the Clock App Face:

No. The icon is what it is. But, if you refer a different type of clock face, then use a specific app: ClockPhone big digital clocks on the App Store

Recommend this to Apple:

Do your Part: Report this to Apple. Apple may not get back to you directly, but the more feedback Apple receives on this, the more they will know what is their customers prefer, and what and what features to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of your ideas, if you don't provide them with them.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you want this to be an option and why. Include the URL to this thread.

"This addresses the clock face and clock icon. Im referring to the 'stop' and 'repeat' buttons on the lock screen while the alarm is going off. I dont think this answer is alinged to the problem."

Await the update as mentioned by KiltedTim, and report back the fix.

iOS 26.1 partially addressed this issue by adding the "swipe to stop" feature, but the buttons are still (a) too big and (b) poorly placed on the screen.

My most common problem use case is:

• My phone is in my pocket (w/ power plug side facing up)
• The alarm goes off with the phone in my pocket
• I reach into my pocket to grab my phone, but because the snooze button is so big and placed towards the button of the screen, I accidently hit it with my thumb almost every time
• This snoozes the alarm before I can even see what it was
• So now I have to open the Clock - Alarm app, scroll through all my alarms, and figure out

I use the Clock - Alarm app for reminders for various things throughout the day. It's an integral part of my by life. It's far superior than the "Reminders" app because it "breaks through" and it's incredibly reliable (at least, it used to be, but not anymore.)

It baffles me how Apple continues to outthink itself. You're supposed to have the smartest UI/UX designers on the planet, yet you've managed to introduce 5x "friction" into an app and feature set that worked great for ~10 years...

I suggest you hold on for iOS 26.1, due soon.
