change side button back to turn alarm off

Thank you. That was helpful.

Is there any way to turn the default back to having the snooze always off when I make a new alarm?

I set alarm reminders for myself all the time and never had one go into snooze mode until the new update a few days ago.

I say (for instance), Hey Siri, set an alarm for two hours. Then when the alarm goes off I hit the large side button without having to take the phone out of my pocket to do so.

This afternoon I had to turn the alarm off three times while I was driving. I could not take the phone out of my pocket without stopping to do so and I was on the highway.

Interesting.

I also noticed, twice now, that when I set up an appt in Calendar and the notification went off, I had to scroll or click on two or three things in order to silence the calendar alert. I can't remember now if I used the side button or the phone was visible to me and I used the screen, but I had a heckuva time silencing the thing.

I'm thinking I never should have updated.

I imagine Apple improved stuff I never use, but downgraded/fiddled with the stuff I do use.
