Using Hey Google to cancel an alarm

[csdude55]

I set an alarm before going outside to work, but can't find a way to stop it using voice command. It's a pain to have to take off my gloves to manually close it, then put them back on to finish cleaning up.

Any suggestions on how to cancel the alarm with a voice command?

You can sometimes get it turn off by yelling at it to 'stop', I find it to only work about 1/2 the time though. Saying the full 'OK Google, stop' might work a smidge better. That's the only way I know of.

I've tried "Stop", "Hey Google, stop", "Hey Google, cancel the alarm", and "Hey google, stop the alarm".

"Stop" didn't do anything.

The others resulted in Google replying with "you can do that in the app", while continuing the alarm :-/

@Milo Williamson , I looked at the link you gave but I don't have what it described! When I look at the list of alarms there's no down arrow at all. If I select the alarm then I have an up-down menu button (imagine <> turned 90 degrees), but when I click that I just have "Turn off" and "Delete".

I'm using a Galaxy S22 SM-S901U, and for the clock I'm using version 12.1.21.2 (which is says is the latest version).

I think OK Google Stop only works with alarms initiated with Hey Google, Set an alarm for XXX. It doesn't work with alarms you set manually with the clock application.

Have you lowered down the volume though?

I always say "Please Mrs. Google, would you mind shutting off the alarm at your earliest convenience? Henceforth!!!
And that will stop the alarm.

I imagine you are British holding a cuppa and slowly drinking with your pinky out!

 

[Dannydet]

Lol!!!

 

[csdude55]

Hmm, maybe it's cause I didn't say "henceforth"... I didn't think of that! LOL

@Unforgiven , I always create mine via voice command, so that's not it. Thanks for the note, though! I'll have to remember it.

@Milo Williamson , I'm not sure what you mean about the volume. Do you mean to lower the volume enough so that OK Google can hear me? If so, that wouldn't be the issue since it replies with "you can do that in the app".

I honestly think it can't hear me over the alarm ringing, I've always suspected that to be the case (kidding, not kidding).
