How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi: a complete guide for smartphones and smart watches

You woke up to an alarm clock on Xiaomi but don’t know how to turn it off quickly? Or maybe you need to remove an unnecessary alarm clock that goes off at the weekend? In this article, we’ll look at all the possible ways to turn off alarm clocks on Redmi, POCO, Mi, and Mi Band and Xiaomi Watch smartwatches. Whether you’re using the standard Watch app or third-party solutions, here you’ll find a solution for any situation.

Xiaomi devices have a different interface depending on the MIUI version and the gadget model, and we've taken these nuances into account and prepared universal instructions that will work for both new flagships and budget devices. And if you accidentally delete an important alarm clock, don't worry, there's a section on recovery at the end of this article.

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

The most obvious and quickest method is to use the built-in Watch app (or Clock in global firmware), which is pre-installed on all Xiaomi smartphones and supports not only alarm clocks, but also timers, stopwatches.

• 📱 Open the Watch app on the home screen or in the app menu.
• ⏰ Go to the Alarm tab (usually the second icon below).
• 🔄 Find the active alarm in the list and it will be highlighted by color (usually blue or green).
• 🔘 Touch the slider to the right of the time to deactivate the alarm clock. The slider will turn gray.

If you need to completely remove the alarm clock, rather than just turn it off once:

1. Press your finger on the alarm clock in the list (or press three dots). ⋮ right).
2. Select Delete from the menu that appears.
3. Confirm the action in the dialog window.

💡

On some models (e.g. POCO F5), you need to brush the alarm to the left in the list, as in an email client, to remove the alarm clock.

Note that in MIUI 14 and later, the Watch interface has become more minimalist. If you don't have sliders, try pressing the alarm, and the edit screen will open, where you can turn it off in the top corner.

2. Quickly shutting down the alarm clock through the notification panel

When the alarm goes off, a notification pops up on the screen with the Delay and Turn buttons, but what if you missed this window or want to turn off the alarm beforehand? MIUI has a hidden alarm control function right from the notification curtain:

• 📲 Swipe your finger down to open the notification bar.
• 🔔 Find a notification from the Watch app with the text “Alarm clock will ring in” HH:MM».
• 🔘 Tap the notification – a mini-panel with the Disconnect button will open.
• 🗑️ To remove the alarm clock permanently, press and hold the notification, then select Delete the alarm clock.

On Android 13+ models (such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro), alarm notifications can be grouped. Deploy a group to see individual alarms.

3. Turning off the alarm clock by voice (Google Assistant / XiaoAI)

If you're too lazy to look for an app or you're in another room, you can turn off your alarm with a voice command. On Xiaomi smartphones, there are two options for this: built-in XiaoAI (for Chinese firmware) or Google Assistant (for global versions).

For Google Assistant:

1. Activate the assistant with the phrase “OK, Google” or holding the Home button.
2. Tell one of the teams: "Switch off the alarm clock at 7:30" "Delete the alarm for tomorrow" "Switch off all alarms"

For XiaoAI (Chinese firmware):

1. Press the power button or say (Xiao Ai Tongxue).
2. Use the commands in Chinese: "7" (turn off alarm at 7:00) "(remove all alarms)"

4. Turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi smartwatch (Mi Band, Xiaomi Watch)

If the alarm clock is set to Mi Band 7, Xiaomi Watch S3 or other fitness bracelet, turn it off via smartphone will not work – you need to use the Mi Fitness app (formerly Mi Fit) or directly the watch screen.

Method 2: Direct on the watch (for Xiaomi Watch and Mi Band with display):

5. Hidden settings: Turning off alarm clocks via ADB (for experienced)

If standard methods don’t work (for example, due to a MIUI failure), you can turn off alarm clocks via ADB (Android Debug Bridge), which is suitable for advanced users and requires connecting your smartphone to your computer.

Here's the step-by-step instruction:

1. Enable USB Debugging in the Developer Settings (Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version – Press 7 times, then return to Additional → For Developers).
2. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
3. Open the command line (Windows) or terminal (Mac/Linux) and type: adb shell content query --uri content://com.android.alarmclock/alarm This command will display a list of all alarm clocks with their ID.
4. To turn off the alarm with ID 5, use: adb shell content update --uri content://com.android.alarmclock/alarm --bind enabled:i:0 --where" id=5.

⚠️ Attention: Wrong commands ADB Do not change the settings unless you are sure of their purpose. For example, the adb shell pm clear com.android.deskclock command will reset all alarm clocks and clock settings!

This method is useful if:

• 🔧 The Clock app is constantly flying out.
• 📵 Alarms do not appear in the interface, but continue to work.
• 🔄 You need to massively turn off all alarm clocks (for example, after resetting settings).

6.What to do if the alarm clock does not turn off?

Sometimes the alarms on Xiaomi continue to go off even after the app is turned off.

• 🔄 App cache - clear the data in Settings → Annexes → The clock → Warehouse.
• 📱 Third-party apps (such as Sleep as Android or Alarmy) that duplicate alarm clocks.
• 🔋 Energy saving – some firmware automatically switch on alarm clocks after rebooting.
• ⏱️ System updates after upgrade MIUI alarm clocks can be dropped.

If the problem persists:

1. Restart your smartphone in safe mode (hold the power button → Reboot in safe mode).If the alarm doesn't work, the third-party app is to blame.
2. Check the permissions for the Watch app in Settings → Apps → Permissions. Make sure alarms and reminders are enabled.
3. Update MIUI to the latest version – old firmware had alarm bugs (especially in MIUI 12.5).

💡

If the alarm is triggered on a smartwatch but does not appear in Mi Fitness, try untie and reconnect the device in the app.

7. Recovery of remote alarm clocks

Did you accidentally delete an important alarm? Don't worry -- MIUI has a backup feature that can help you get your settings back. Here's how to do it:

Method 1: Restore from MIUI backup

• 📱 Go to Settings. → Additionally. → Backup and reset.
• 🔄 Select the latest backup (make sure it has the data in the Watch app»).
• 📥 Click Restore and Confirm Action.

Method 2: Manual recovery (if no backup)

Unfortunately, Xiaomi’s built-in tools don’t allow you to restore individual alarm clocks without a full backup.

• 🔍 Check the notification history – sometimes there is data about the alarm time.
• 📅 Use Google Calendar – If the alarm clock was tied to an event, it can be restored there.
• 📱 Install a third-party app (such as Alarm Clock Xtreme) that syncs with your Google account.

⚠️ Warning: Restore from backup will overwrite the current alarm settings. If you add new alarm clocks after you create the backup, you'll have to reset them.
