Welcome to Product Support, a column devoted to helping you get the most out of the stuff you already use.
If you’re tired of having to wait for your partner to turn off their iPhone’s alarm in the morning, you’re in luck. That’s because Reddit user u/smurfses just discovered a hack that lets you turn it off from your own iPhone. And it’s easy.
All you have to do use a “Hey Siri” voice command on your iPhone and ask it to turn off the alarm from [the person’s name] iPhone. Siri will then ask you to confirm that you want to stop the alarm, and then you simply respond “Yes.” Alternately, you can select the “yes” option that pops up on your iPhone.
In fact, you don’t technically even have to have an iPhone in order to make this work. You can also do this little trick from any Siri-enabled device, such as a HomePod, iPad or an Apple Watch.
There are two big caveats to this little alarm hack, however.
