The switch is now grayed out, indicating the alarm is disabled.

If you’d like to remove an alarm, tap that alarm on the list. Then, in the expanded menu, choose “Delete.”

Your chosen alarm is now gone from your Clock app.

Deactivate Alarms in Samsung’s Clock App

To turn off alarms on a Samsung phone, launch your phone’s stock Clock app. In the app’s bottom bar, tap “Alarm.”

On the following page, next to the alarm you want to turn off, switch off the toggle. Your alarm is now disabled.

To remove an alarm, tap the three dots at the top of the alarm list. Choose “Edit.”

You can now select the alarm(s) to delete. Tap the circle icon beside an alarm to select it.

Once you’ve chosen your alarm(s) to delete, at the bottom, tap “Delete.”

If you turn off an alarm, you can re-enable it whenever you want. However, if you choose to delete an alarm, you’ll have to re-create that alarm to use it again.
