is there a way to revert to the old alarm feature within ios 26.2?

Hello, I understand that for some alarms, there is an option to have a slider on the lock screen. However, for some alarms, I am receiving a notification/ pop-up alarm that has two buttons that are very close together, unlike the previous interface. It becomes easy to snooze the alarms accidentally. I would like to know if there is a feature to revert this? It shows something currently like “zzz” next to another thing such as possibly an “x”.

If an alarm goes off while your iPhone is off, it will display the full screen sliders. That can be changed back to a button in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Prefer Single-Touch Actions. If an alarm goes off while your iPhone is on, it will display a banner with the Zzz (Snooze) and X (Stop). That cannot be changed. You can submit feedback to Apple below if you'd like.
