With the second beta of iOS 26.1, Apple updated the design of alarms set on the iPhone, making them harder to dismiss than before.
Stopping an alarm in iOS 26.1 beta 2 requires a new Slide to Stop gesture rather than a simple tap. You can continue to tap to snooze an alarm, but if you want to turn it off entirely, you need to use a swipe.
Transitioning from a tap to a slide gesture to...

If you have an 11-inch iPad Pro or a 4th or 5th gen iPad Air, this is a great deal for a great accessory. In my opinion, the Magic Keyboard adds so much functional value to the iPad as it provides a trackpad, a second USB-C port, and doubles as a case. Oh and it has backlit keys and you don’t need to charge it. Since the usual $299 price is definitely a bit steep, this is a great discount.
