Use Samsung’s Clock App to Set an Alarm
If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, you can use Samsung’s Clock app to set alarms, edit existing ones, and enable Bixby briefing. Here’s how you can set an alarm on your Samsung:
Set an Alarm With Bixby or Google Assistant
If you’re ever in a rush, the simplest way of setting a new alarm is by asking Bixby or Google Assistant.
For Samsung devices, you can activate Bixby by long-pressing your device’s side button or by saying “Hi Bixby.” Simply ask Bixby to set a new alarm by saying commands like, “Set an alarm for 7 AM tomorrow” or “Wake me up in 30 minutes.”
If you’ve been running late for work every day, you can also ask Bixby to set recurring alarms. All you need to do is say something like, “Wake me up at 7 AM every weekday.”
Along with creating and turning off alarms, Bixby Briefing can also tell you the current time, news, and weather forecast while your alarm rings. To enable this feature, tapBixby Alarmwhen choosing your alarm’s ringtone.
To set an alarm using Google Assistant, wake it up by long-pressing your device’s home button or saying “Hey Google” or “OK Google.” Now, let Google Assistant know the time of your alarm by saying something like “Set an alarm for 5 AM tomorrow.” Similarly, you can create a recurring alarm by saying, “Set an alarm for 7 AM every Friday.”
The Days of Running Late Are Long Gone
If you’re tired of starting your day in a rush and missing important deadlines, using the Clock app to stay on track is a great idea. Android’s Clock apps can do a lot more than just wake you up. Your Android device’s clock app has a built-in stopwatch, a timer, and a world clock that allows you to see the time anywhere on Earth.
