The alarm clock on Xiaomi smartphones is not just a wake-up feature, but a whole range of tools with advanced settings. However, even experienced users sometimes face a situation where you need to turn off the signal urgently, but standard methods do not work. For example, you overslept and the phone continues to vibrate in "reminder" mode, or the alarm went off on another device through synchronization of Mi Account. In such cases, a standard click on "Cance" may not help.
In this article, we will look at all the possible ways to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi, from basic to hidden. You will learn how to deactivate the signal through the Watch app, using the voice assistant Google Assistant, and what to do if the alarm clock hovers or went wrong. Particular attention will be paid to models with MIUI 14/15, where the interface has changed. If you are a user of Redmi Note 12, POCO X5 or Xiaomi 13T, the instructions will be suitable for you.
1. Standard alarm clock shutdown via the "Clock" app
The most obvious way is to use the built-in Watch app. However, even here there are nuances that depend on the version of MIUI and the model of the smartphone. For example, on Xiaomi 12S Ultra, the "Alarm clock" tab can be hidden behind an additional swipe.
To turn off the alarm clock by the standard method:
- 📱 Open the Clock app (icon with dial).
- ⏰ Go to the Alarm tab (usually the second icon below).
- 🔕 Find the active alarm clock in the list and move the slider to the right – it will turn gray (this means that the alarm clock is off, but not removed).
- 🗑️ If you want to remove the alarm completely, click on it and select Delete in the lower menu.
Important: On some models (e.g., POCO F4), the alarm clock may be left in the curtain after it is turned off. To remove it, swipe it to the left and press Delete.
☑️ Checking the alarm clock
2.Fast shutdown during alarm bell
If the alarm is already working and you want to turn it off as quickly as possible, there are several ways:
- Click on "Cancel": a large Undo button (or Stop in English firmware) will appear on the lock screen. Sometimes it can be hidden behind a notification banner - swipe down to see it.
- Volume buttons: On some models (for example, Redmi Note 11 Pro+), the alarm can be turned off while simultaneously holding both volume buttons for 2-3 seconds.
- Unlock screen: If the screen is locked, unlock it in any way (print, PIN, pattern lock), and the cancel button will become active.
⚠️
Attention! On smartphones with MIUI 13 and below, when you press "Delay," the alarm clock can go off again in 10 minutes. To avoid this, always use "Cancel" rather than "Delay."
💡
If the alarm went off in headphones (for example, Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro), you can turn it off through a notification on the smartphone screen - you do not need to remove the headphones.
3. Turn off the alarm clock through the notification panel
If the alarm is set to repeat, but you only want to turn off today’s signal, do the following:
- When the alarm goes off, pull down the notification panel.
- Find a notification with the name of the alarm clock (for example, "Alarm clock: Rise at 7:00").
- Click on the notification – the Clock with an active alarm clock will open.
- Move the slider to the right to turn off only today’s signal, or click Remove to deactivate it permanently.
This method is useful if you don't want to log in to the Watch app beforehand, like when the alarm goes off and you're not fully awake yet and want to turn it off quickly without opening the additional menus.
| Action. | The result | It's good for MIUI. |
|---|---|---|
| Swipe on notification left → "Delete" | The alarm clock is removed completely. | 12, 13, 14, 15 |
| Click on notification → slider shift | Only switches off today's signal. | 14, 15 |
| Long-term pressing of notice | Opens the alarm clock settings. | 13 and below |
4.Switching off the alarm clock with the voice assistant
If you have Google Assistant on or Alice from Yandex, you can turn off the alarm with your voice, which is convenient when your hands are busy or you are in another room.
For Google Assistant:
- 🎤 Say, “OK Google, turn off the alarm clock” or “Hey Google, turn off all alarms".
- 🔊 The assistant will confirm the action and show a list of switched off alarm clocks.
For Alice from Yandex:
- 🎤 Say, "Alice, cancel the alarm clock" or "Alice, turn off the alarm for tomorrow".
- ⚠️ Make sure that in the settings Yandex.Search allowed access to the application Watch.
⚠️
Attention! Voice shutdown may not work if the alarm was created through a third-party program (e.g. Sleep as Android) rather than the standard Watch app.
5. Disconnecting alarm clocks from third-party apps
Many users set alternative alarms, such as Sleep as Android, Alarmy or Timely, in which case the standard methods from the previous sections will not work.
- 📱 Sleep as Android: Open the app → Go to the Alarms tab. → Move the active alarm clock slider or click on it and select Cancel.
- 🔔 Alarmy: On the app's home screen, click on the alarm clock → Select Turn Off (Icon with Cross).
- ⏳ Timely: Swipe your alarm to the left and press Delete.
If you don’t remember which app you installed, check this:
- Open Settings → Applications → Application Management.
- In the search bar, type "alarm clock".
- Browse the list and find an app with active alarm clock permissions.
On Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 14+, third-party alarms can conflict with the built-in “Clock” app. If the signal is duplicated, turn off the alarm clock sync in the Mi Account settings.

6 What to do if the alarm clock is getting stuck or not switched off?
Sometimes the alarm clock can turn off, such as continuing to vibrate after pressing Cancel or making a sound without the possibility of turning off, in which case a forced stop will help:
- 🔄 Reboot your smartphone: press the power button for 10 seconds until the device reboots. This is a radical but powerful method.
- ⚙️ Stop the Clock app: Go to Settings → Annexes → App management. Find the Watch and hit Stop. Confirm action.

volume down
⚠️
Attention! On some models (such as the Xiaomi 11T Pro), a forced stop of the Watch app can reset all the alarm clocks that have been set up, and once the app is restarted, it will have to be reconfigured.
💡
If the alarm clock has got stuck, try turning off the sound with volume buttons first – this will give you time to restart or stop the application without losing data.
