How to turn off the alarm on Xiaomi 9 Pro: all ways (including emergency)

Xiaomi 9 Pro is a flagship smartphone with a proprietary shell MIUI, where the alarm is integrated not only into the standard watch app, but also into system services. Turning it off seems an easy task, but users often face problems: the signal continues to ring after clicking on “Cancel”, the alarm clock is triggered at random time or does not respond to commands. In this article, we will analyze all possible methods of deactivation from basic to emergency, including cases when the screen does not respond or the phone freezes.

The Xiaomi 9 Pro (raphael) is that alarm clocks are controlled not only through the GUI, but also through system notifications, XiaoAI voice assistant, and even power saving modes. If you tried to turn off the signal in the standard way, but it continues to work, the problem may lie in the Automation settings or conflict with third-party applications (eg, Google Clock), we tested each method on MIUI 12-14 firmware and identified those that work stably.

1. Standard shutdown through the app “Clock”

The most obvious way is to use the built-in Watch app (com.miui.clock). However, even here there are nuances: for example, if an alarm was created through Google Clock, it will not be visible in the standard Xiaomi menu. Check both sources.

Instructions:

• 📱 Open the Clock app** (icon with dial on the home screen or in the app menu).
• ⏰ Go to the "Alarm" tab** (bottom of the screen).
• 🔕 Find the active alarm in the list and move the slider to the right – it will turn gray (this means that the alarm is off**, but not removed).
• 🗑️ To remove the alarm completely, click on it and select Remove in the upper right corner.

⚠️ Note: If the alarm is created through Google Clock, it must be turned off separately:

1. Open Google Clock (if installed).
2. Go to the Alarms tab.
3. Click on the alarm clock and select Off or Delete.

2. Quick shutdown via notification panel

When the alarm goes off, a notification with the Cancel button appears on the screen, but on the Xiaomi 9 Pro, this button sometimes fails due to a bug in MIUI (especially on versions 12.5-13).

• 🔔 Fly the notification curtain down.
• 🔍 Find a notification from the Watch app** (or Google Clock) with the text “Alarm clock went off».

If the notification is gone, but the alarm continues to ring:

1. Press the power button for 3 seconds to trigger the shutdown menu.

💡

If the alarm doesn’t turn off through the notification, try clicking on the notification itself – this will open the Clock app, where you can manually deactivate the signal.

3. Disconnection via voice assistant XiaoAI

The Xiaomi 9 Pro has a built-in voice assistant, XiaoAI, that can control alarm clocks, which is useful if the screen is not responsive to touch or you are in another room. Commands work even when the screen is locked (if the option of Voice Assistant on the locked screen is enabled).

Methods of activation:

• 🎤 Say, “Hi, XiaoAI” (if voice-activated).
• 🔘 Press the power button** for 1-2 seconds (if configured).
• 📱 Scroll down the screen and tap the microphone icon** in the search bar.

Commands to turn off the alarm clock:

"Switch off all alarms."


"Switch off the alarm for 7:00."




"Delete the alarm for tomorrow."

⚠️ Note: XiaoAI may not recognize the command if:

• 🔇 Microphone access disabled for XiaoAI application.
• 🌐 The voice language in the settings does not match the language of the commands (for example, you speak Russian, and the assistant is configured in English).
• 🔋 Power Saving mode is enabled, which limits the background work of the assistant.

4. Disconnection through automation settings (MIUI Automation)

One of the little-known reasons for the unkillable alarm clocks on the Xiaomi 9 Pro is the automatic rules in MIUI Automation, for example, a user could set a rule to “Switch on the alarm every day at 6:00” and then forget about it.

How to check and disable:

1. Go to Settings → Additional → Automation (or Settings → Applications → Automation in new versions of MIUI).
2. Select the tab “Personal rules” or “Automation”.

If there is a rule in automation with the trigger “When connecting charging” and the action “Set on the alarm”, it must be removed manually – otherwise the alarm will be triggered every time you connect the phone to the outlet.

5. Emergency shutdown: Setting reset or safe mode

If the alarm clock does not turn off in any of the above ways, the problem may be:

• 🐛 System failure. MIUI (for example, after updating).
• 📱 Conflict with third-party apps (e.g. Sleep as Android or Alarmy).
• 🔄 Damage to alarm clock settings files.

In such cases, it will help:

Method 1: Safe mode

1. Turn off the phone.
2. Press the power button** and hold until the Mi logo appears.

Method 2: Reset the settings of the “Clock” application

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.
2. Find the Clock (com.miui.clock) and open it.

Method 3: Complete resetting of settings (extreme case)

If nothing works, you have to reset your phone to factory settings. Make sure to back up before you do that!

Settings → About the phone → Reset settings → Erase all data

6.Switching off the alarm clock on the phone turned off

Many Xiaomi 9 Pro users are faced with a situation where the alarm goes off even when the phone is turned off, this is due to the function of the alarm when the power is turned off, which is activated in the power saving settings.

1. Go to Settings → Battery and Performance → Energy Saving.
2. Select the Energy Saving Settings.
3. Find the “Alarm clock with power off” option** and turn it off.

⚠️ Warning: After this function is turned off, the alarm will not work if the phone is turned off or discharged. If you need the alarm to go off anyway, leave the option on, but watch the battery charge (at least 5%).

💡

If the alarm clock does not turn off in standard ways, first check the automation in MIUI, then third-party applications, and only in extreme cases resort to resetting settings.
