How do I set an alarm on my phone without the app?

You can set an alarm on your Google Pixel phone without opening the Clock app by using Google Assistant, which allows you to set alarms hands-free. Here’s how to do it:

Set an Alarm Using Google Assistant:

1. Activate Google Assistant:

   • You can do this by saying "Hey Google" or "OK Google" (if voice activation is enabled).
   • Alternatively, you can press and hold the Home button or swipe up from the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of your screen.

2. Give the Command:

   • To set an alarm, just say:
     • "Set an alarm for 7:00 AM."
     • "Set an alarm for 8:30 PM."
     • "Set an alarm in 15 minutes."
     • "Set an alarm tomorrow at 6 AM."

3. Confirmation:

   • Google Assistant will confirm the alarm with a message like:
     • "Okay, your alarm is set for 7:00 AM."

4. Optional Customization:

   • You can also specify additional details like the sound, repetition (e.g., every weekday), or label the alarm (e.g., "Wake Up").
   • For example, you can say:
     • "Set an alarm for 7 AM with a loud sound."
     • "Set an alarm for 8 PM and label it ‘Take Meds.’"

Additional Voice Commands:

• "What alarms do I have set?" – Google Assistant will list your current alarms.
• "Turn off my alarm at 7 AM." – You can even cancel alarms by saying this.
• "Snooze my alarm." – If an alarm is already ringing, you can use this command to snooze it.

This is a quick way to set an alarm without needing to open the Clock app. It’s perfect for when you’re busy or need to set an alarm quickly while your hands are full.
