Keep stopping alarm instead of snoozing with new update

I think because the buttons are now bigger or I’m not sure why, but now I’m always shutting off alarm instead of snoozing when I reach for phone when alarm goes off. I’ve done it now like 5 times and it’s so frustrating. Never had this issue before until new update. Anyway to fix this?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26

I just spoke to Apple support. The slider that they added to alarms available in 26.1 is only available to general alarms and not the Health app. If you are using your Health app sleep schedule, the slide to stop functionality is not available.


Apple, please add the slide to stop to the sleep schedule alarm in the health app. This is the alarm I thought you were mentioning with this feature and I think this was a huge miss.

Have you updated to iOS 26.1 yet? Apple did make a change to the alarm screen in the newest update, which might benefit you.
