People are just realising iPhone has ‘game-changing’ alarm trick

THE iPhone is hidden with little hacks – even the alarm clock has a trick or two.

As any iOS user will know, Apple’s take on the staple feature is a scrolling wheel.

While it looks nice, it’s sometimes a bit fiddly.

But there’s actually a totally different way to set an alarm that people are only just realising.

And it’s actually been around for a while.

The trick allows you to do things the old fashioned way – by that we mean keying the alarm time in.

And it’s very simple to do.

Firstly, open the alarm app as normal.

Instead of scrolling the wheel, tap the numbers once.

They’ll turn orange and a keypad will pop up below.

You can then tap in the time you want the alarm to go off.

Then hit save.

One of the newest additions is that you can now unsend messages.
