Xiaomi: Turn an Alarm On or Off in the Clock App

Alarms you already set on your Xiaomi phone stay stored even after you switch them off, but the toggle in the Clock app is easy to miss. If an alarm keeps ringing when you do not need it, or stays silent when you want it active, the switch next to the entry is probably in the wrong position. This affects your wake-up routine and any reminders you set up in MIUI.

Turn an Alarm On or Off auf Xiaomi

Alarms on Xiaomi phones are saved permanently in the Clock app, even after you switch them off. MIUI keeps every entry in the alarm list so you can reactivate it later without re-entering the time, repeat days, or sound.

The toggle next to each alarm controls only whether it triggers, not whether it exists. If an alarm rings unexpectedly, check the switch position first before deleting the entry.

To turn an alarm on or off, open Clock and tap the switch next to the alarm you want to change. A filled switch means the alarm is active; a gray switch means it is disabled: Tap on ClockTurn On/Off an Alarm.

This differs from Do Not Disturb or Focus mode, which silence notifications app-wide but do not change individual alarm switches. If an alarm still rings during a scheduled Focus session, that is expected behavior on most Xiaomi phones, since alarms are built to bypass silent modes by default.

Deleting an alarm removes it permanently, while turning it off keeps the schedule saved for later use. Use the toggle for temporary changes and delete only alarms you no longer need.

Frequently asked questions

No. Turning off an alarm only disables the trigger. The entry stays in Clock with its saved time, repeat days, and sound until you delete it manually.
