iPhone owners don’t have to get out of bed to silence their phones’ alarms.
Do you have somebody in your household that forgets to turn off their alarm clock in the morning? The person may fall asleep repeatedly or leave their iPhone at home. I’m sure you’ve been compelled to get up multiple times to switch it off in these situations, but if you both have an Apple phone, this shouldn’t be necessary.
Users who share a ‘Family Sharing’ account can remotely turn on and off the alarms of other family members. Up to six people can share features and services with these family accounts.
The tools that allow you to share Apple Music and Apple TV+ accounts, as well as search for misplaced devices at home, are the most widely used under Family Sharing.
Few people are aware, however, that unpleasant alarms can easily be switched off remotely.
To use it, both iPhones must be connected to the same WiFi network and have a name that Siri recognises. It’s enough to turn off alarms and continue sleeping without any background music if you meet these two requirements (including sharing a ‘Family Sharing’ account).
How can you silence your family member’s alarm clock?
Siri asks whether you’re sure you want to silence the alarm.
This feature had gone mostly undiscovered until it was brought to the attention of numerous people thanks to a Reddit post. An Internet user described his experience: his wife’s alarm was ringing, and he humorously requested Siri to silence it.
Despite the fact that the user claims he did it with no expectation of it working, he recognised the assistant had asked him whether he wanted to turn off the alarm. When the Internet user discovered this capability, he thought it would be acceptable to publish it on Reddit so that additional people might benefit from it if they needed it.
What is the procedure for setting up a family sharing account?
Those who do not currently have a shared account with their family can create one by following these simple instructions:
*Go to ‘Settings’ and select your name from the drop-down menu.
*Choose ‘Family Sharing’ from the drop-down menu.
*Select ‘Set up your family’ from the drop-down menu.
*To invite the rest of the family, follow the directions on the screen.
Family Sharing accounts make it simple to share features and services with your loved ones.
