You go into the clock app
And set the timer
It’s significantly faster to just tell it to set an alarm than it is to go into the app and do so manually, wanting it to work with all of the features isn’t asking a lot
What a weird thing to be a dick about
For some people, for example people with disabilities, this kind of thing can be a big deal. Stop thinking only of yourself.
While true, I think those two steps are simple enough as is and really aren’t improved by a digital assistant
Then what’s the point of the digital assistant?
Seriously, people in the comments seem to have drunk so much google coolaid it isn’t even funny. It’s an obvious bug that doesn’t let your “digital assistant” setup something that you personally would be able to setup.
There isn’t a rationale here, there isn’t some hidden tech, it’s just shitty design.
The whole problem is that you can’t set an alarm more than 24 hours ahead of time unless you set it to repeat. The timer also gets reset if the phone restarts or if you bump the stop button on the notification screen. Workarounds work most of the time but they set you up for problems. The artificial limitation is unnecessary and just creates problems for people like myself who have ADD.
