Google Clock Adds Swipe Option

Google Clock Adds Swipe Option

Google is changing how you turn off alarms in the Google Clock app.

Before, you had to tap a big button, which was easy to do by accident.

Now, you can choose to swipe left to snooze or swipe right to turn off the alarm.

This new feature is being tested first with some users and will be available to everyone soon.

You might not see it right away, even if you have the latest version of the app.

The feature is called 'Dismiss alarms with a swipe gesture or button' and is part of Google Clock version 8.5.
