It’s perfect for millions of iPhone owners who share a bed (or nearby room) with someone else.
You’ve probably had the experience of being kept awake by someone’s alarm going off.
It’s particularly annoying when the other person is sleeping through their alarm – or perhaps isn’t even home at all.
But with a bit of planning, it’s possible to fix this problem completely.
You won’t even need to get out of bed.
Apple has designed it so that other members of your family can turn off your alarm with a simple Siri voice command.
All you need to do is make sure that your devices are set up properly as a family household.
How to turn off other iPhone alarms using your Siri
The first step is to create a Family Sharing network with your iPhone devices.

Go to the Settings app then tap your name.
Next choose Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.
This will allow you to invite other family members to your virtual Apple household.
You’ll also need to ensure that “Hey Siri” is turned on for iPhones in the household.
Just go into Settings > Siri & Search and toggle Listen for Hey Siri on.
And lastly, you’ll need to ensure that all devices in the household are running on the same Wi-Fi network.
Once that’s done, you can simply say “Hey Siri, stop” to your own iPhone when you hear another iPhone’s alarm going off in your house.
This means you can go back to peaceful sleep.
Just be careful: you don’t want to turn off someone’s planned alarm and cause them to miss something important.
So consider whether you’re going to cause chaos with your Siri command or not.
