This is a process of setting an alarm on iPhone. Switching to the green toggle, the opaque letters in the same field will change to white. This turned-on field gives a subconscious feeling to tap it to edit the alarm, but it does not allow users to open the field. Users could be confused, because the ‘Edit’ option is on the top-left part of the screen. Tapping ‘Edit’ is the only way to go inside the field.
There are two main things with ‘Edit’. We can go in to the alarm field with ‘>’ and delete the alarm with ‘red minus(-) button’ on the left, but another red field on the right appears to re-confirm.
The red field can be found by swiping from right to left. This swiping option is a more direct approach to deleting the alarm more than the ‘red minus(-) button’.
If we actually go inside with the green toggle and edit the alarm right away, ‘Edit’ wouldn’t be necessary. We don’t have to deal with a finger confusing moment which I call ‘where should I tap on the screen?’. It would be easier and more convenient to edit the alarm without ‘Edit’.
This is the ideal process of an alarm setting that I would suggest. No ‘Edit’ on the top-left. Editing, deleting the alarm and setting the snooze time interval could work in one field. An arrow should appear to the right of the green toggle when it is turned on.
Going into the snooze option, there should be a snooze time set. A scroll-down option comes up and enables setting the time interval within a range of 1 to 10 minutes. The snooze time interval should appear on the alarm list too.(iPhone snooze is automatically set at nine minutes, but most users don’t notice the exact time interval. It only has the green toggle.)
All users want to be smart with their time. Editing everything in one field is a time saving change and is more efficient.
