Description:
If you prefer the alarm interface in iOS 26 to iOS 26.1, there's a simple way 
to switch back.

FULL STORY
======================================================================iOS 
26.1 changes the alarm interface by getting rid of the 'Stop' button While 
this is a useful alteration, not everyone will like it Thankfully, there's a 
setting that lets you bring the button back 

If youve downloaded iOS 26.1 , then you may have noticed that a few things 
have changed in Apples operating system, and perhaps the most noticeable of 
those changes is how you dismiss alarms. 

Now, rather than just tapping a button, you have to slide your finger across 
the screen. The idea here is that, because this is an action that requires 
more intent and thought, youre less likely to accidentally dismiss an alarm 
while half asleep. 

So, for a lot of people, this will be a useful upgrade, but for those who 
dont find themselves accidentally turning off their alarms, the 'slide to 
stop' gesture could be more of an annoyance, as it makes turning off alarms a 
slightly more involved process. 

But theres good news  while iPhones running iOS 26.1 will now default to 
using 'slide to stop', you can actually choose to switch it back to a button. 
A simple toggle (Image credit: Apple) 

To do this, just head to Settings > Accessibility > Touch . From here, youll 
find a new  Prefer Single-Touch Actions  toggle at the bottom. 

Turn this on, and your alarm screen will switch back to showing a button, so 
you can just tap that to dismiss an alarm. Just dont blame us (or Apple) if 
you accidentally do that and end up oversleeping. 

And if you haven't downloaded iOS 26.1 yet, we'd recommend doing so even if 
you don't want the new alarm interface, as it also includes other changes, 
such as a way to tone down Liquid Glass, gesture controls for Apple Music, 
and more.
