How to set an alarm on an Android phone or tablet
To set an alarm on Android, first open the Clock app. If it's not already on your homescreen, you can find it by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and going through your App menu.
1. Tap on the "ALARM" tab at the top-left of the Clock app.
2. Press the plus symbol (+) at the bottom-right corner of the screen. Set the time by scrolling through the numbers, the date by tapping on the word "Date," and how often you want the alarm to go off under the word "Repeat."
3. Take a moment to customize the alarm's sound, snooze, and vibration options, and name it if you'd like.
4. Hit "SAVE" and you're done.
Once you've made your alarm, you can turn it on and off by flipping the switch next to its time.
