Set an alarm on iPod touch

In the Clock app , you can set regular alarms for any time of day and have them repeat on one or more days of the week.

Ask Siri. Say something like: “Set an alarm for 9 a.m. every Friday” or “Wake me up tomorrow at 7 a.m.” Learn how to ask Siri.

Note: The Wake Up alarm in Clock is set in the Health app as part of a full sleep schedule (including bedtimes, wake up times, and more). If you don’t want to set up a sleep schedule, you can set a regular alarm in Clock for the time you want to wake up.
