How to remove swipe to stop on alarm

How do I remove the swipe to stop on the alarm. I have difficulties getting it to stop due to some hand issues, and the phone not registering my swipe.

How do I change it back to a button?

I read online that the way to revert it is in Accessibility Touch Settings, but it doesn’t give me that option on mine.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26

Tap vs Swipe to Stop Alarm in 26.1 Is there any way to change how to Stop an alarm on the iPhone with 26.1? This last update now requires a swipe in order to Stop the alarm making it much harder to stop when you may not be holding the phone in a swipe-friendly position. A simple tap worked much better.

1Phone 16e "slide to stop" alarm not working on ios 26.1 Upgraded to ios 26.1 and instead of the "slide to stop" on alarms, I now get a small box with zzzz icon for snooze or an X to stop. Both just require a tap. Went to Settings>Accessibility>Touch and toggled on "Prefer Single Touch Actions", which made no change, then toggled it off again with the same behavior. Any thoughts? Thank you.

How do I disable AssistiveTouch on my iPhone? I have a clear white circle on my iPhone when I touch it. It will shut off my activity. I can move the white circle around. It’s a shut off button. What is it? How do I turn it off? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

What iOS version are you using?

I hope you are not posting any information about an unreleased software version, as that would be a violation of the Terms of Use.
