How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi Redmi 9: all the ways (including hidden)

The alarm clock on Xiaomi Redmi 9 can be a real headache if it goes off at the wrong time — during an important call, a night’s sleep or even at an interview. Despite the seeming simplicity of the task, many users face difficulties: the switch does not respond, the alarm clock turns on itself after the MIUI update, the signal repeats after 10 minutes. In this article, we will analyze all possible ways to turn off the alarm clock, from the standard to the little-known, and explain why sometimes they do not work and how to fix it.

The Redmi 9 (and other devices on MIUI 12/13/14) are integrated not only into the Watch app, but also into Google Clock services, as well as Xiaomi’s branded features like Smart Awakening, which means that you can turn off the signal in several ways – and we’ll show each one with firmware nuances in mind.

If you're looking for a way to completely remove your alarm, rather than just delay it for 5 to 10 minutes, or if you're faced with a phone that forgets your settings after rebooting, here's a solution. And for those who want to understand the causes of spontaneous alarms, we've added a section to diagnose typical crashes.

1. Standard method: disabling through the application "Clock"

The most obvious method is to use the company’s Watch app (an icon with a dial). However, even here there are pitfalls: for example, if an alarm was created through Google Clock, it will not appear in the standard Xiaomi menu.

1. Open the Watch app on the home screen or in the app menu.

2. Go to the tab "Alarm clock" (bell icon in the lower menu).

3. Find the active alarm in the list - it will be highlighted in green with the inscription "On".

4. Touch the slider to the right of the time to put it in the "Off" position (gray).

⚠️ Note: If the alarm is gone from the list but still works, it means it was created in another app (e.g. Google Clock or a third-party alarm.

Also note the repetition settings: if the alarm clock is programmed to go off daily, turning it off today doesn't mean it won't ring tomorrow.

1. Click on the alarm clock itself in the list.

2. In the window that opens, select “Delete” (basket icon in the upper right corner).

2. Disconnect through the notification panel (quick method)

If the alarm is already ringing and you want to turn it off instantly without unlocking the screen, use the notification bar, which works even if the phone is locked (provided that the settings allow access to notifications on a closed screen):

1. When the alarm is triggered, swipe your finger down from the top edge of the screen to open the notification panel.

2.Look for a notification that says “Alarm clock” (usually at the top of the list).

3. Flip it left or right, and you'll see the "Disable" button. Press it.

If there is no button, try clicking on the notification itself: the Clock app with an active alarm clock will open, where it can be turned off with a slider.

⚠️ Note: On some versions MIUI It's not enough to swipe the notification - the alarm will only turn off for the current day, but will re-activate the next day (if you set up a repeat). To delete it permanently, go to the Clock app and follow the steps from the first section.

3. How to turn off the alarm clock via Google Clock (if it is not visible in the Watch)

Many Redmi 9 users install Google Clock as an alternative to the standard app, and the alarms created in it do not appear in Xiaomi’s branded “Hours”, so they need to be disabled separately:

1. Open the Google Clock app (an icon with a white dial on a colored background).

2. Go to the "Alarm" tab in the lower menu.

3. Find an active alarm clock and tap the switch on the right to turn gray ("Off").

4.To remove completely, press the alarm clock. → «Delete” (basket icon).

If Google Clock is not installed, but the alarm still goes off out of nowhere, check:

• 📱 Third-party apps: Alarms from Sleep as Android, Alarmy or other programs.
• 🔄 Sync with Google account: Alarm clocks can recover after resetting settings if sync is enabled in Settings → Accounts. → Google → Synchronization of data.
• ⚙️ System Services: In rare cases, an alarm clock can be part of a “Smart Awakening” in Settings → Special facilities → Schedule.

4. Voice Shutdown of the Alarm (via Google Assistant)

If you have Google Assistant on, you can turn off your alarm with your voice, which is convenient when the phone is lying in the distance or the screen is locked.

1. Say the search box or hold the Home button to activate the voice assistant.

2. dictate the command:

• 🎤 «Turn off the alarm clock (if it rings right now).
• 🎤 «Turn off the alarm at 7:00" (specified time).
• 🎤 «Delete all alarm clocks" (to clear the list).

⚠️ Note: Voice commands only work if:

• Google Assistant is set up on your account.
• In Settings → Applications → All Apps → Google Assistant → Permissions enabled access to microphone and alarms.
• The phone is connected to the Internet (commands are processed by the cloud service).

If the voice assistant doesn’t recognize the command, try reformulating it or check the language settings in Settings → Additional → Language and Input.

5. Reset alarm clock settings (if nothing helps)

In rare cases, Redmi 9 alarm clocks get stuck in an active state due to a system failure.

• 🔔 The alarm clock is triggered, but it is not in the list of the app “Clock».
• 🔄 After the shutdown, it reappears after the reboot.
• ⚠️ The Clock app gives an error when trying to remove the alarm clock.

In such situations, resetting the settings of the “Clock” application (without loss of personal data) will help:

1. Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management.

2. Find the "Clock" list and select it.

3. Click on “Storage” → “Clear Data” and “Clear Cache”.

4. Important: After that, all the alarm clocks and timers will be removed. You'll have to reset them.

If the problem is related to Google Clock, follow the same steps for that app.
