Named iOS Alarms

You can name iOS alarms in the Clock app, which I covered in a previous tip. To use Siri, just say something like “Hey Siri, turn on the <name> alarm.” The good thing about this is that it’s built into the system, meaning you won’t have to set up a fancy new Siri Shortcut once iOS 12 rolls out.

    Can you use the shortcuts app to group alarms? Eg. 3 morning alarms that are 5 minutes apart? That would be cool.
