Hate the “slide to stop” alarms in iOS 26.1? Here’s how to get the button back

• iOS 26.1 changes the alarm interface by removing the “Stop” button
• While this is a useful change, it won’t appeal to everyone.
• Fortunately, there is a setting that allows you to bring the button back

If you’ve downloaded iOS 26.1, you may have noticed that a few things have changed in Apple’s operating system, and perhaps the most notable of these changes is the way you ignore alarms.

Now, rather than just pressing a button, you have to swipe your finger across the screen. The idea here is that because it’s an action that requires more intention and thought, you’re less likely to accidentally turn off an alarm while he’s half asleep.
