How to Set Alarm for 20 minutes on Android

All Android smartphones can of course be used… as an alarm clock! To learn how to set alarm for 20 minutes on Android and make sure you get up on time, follow our guide for beginners.

Smartphones can be useful for everything, from the most complex tasks… to the simplest of everyday life. If you’re new to your Android phone, you might not realize that you can use it as a simple alarm clock.

This tutorial was made on a Huawei smartphone. However, the procedure is the same on all phones: only a few names may change on your device.

Manually set alarm for 20 minutes

To manually set alarm for 20 minutes, just head to your list of apps and choose “Clock”. As you can see, you have several choices in front of you: Alarm, Clock, Stopwatch and Timer. Choose Alarm.

This is where you can create and manage your upcoming alarm clocks and alarms. You can create several, and even schedule them to ring on specific days of the week. Press “+”.

To set alarm for 20 minutes, simply swipe the hours and minutes up or down to set the time you are targeting. Then, several customization choices are available to you. The first, snooze, allows you to define on which days this alarm is activated, allowing you, for example, to only ring it from Monday to Friday.

The second choice, Sound, lets you click on it to set your alarm ringtone. By default, your phone offers several basic ones. You can also choose music from your smartphone’s memory by pressing “Music” at the top.

Finally, the last choice, Label, allows you to give a small nickname to your alarm in order to remind you of their usefulness and quickly know what it corresponds to. This label is often displayed when the alarm sounds, so it can be a good way to refresh your memory at the time.

Set alarm for 20 minutes by voice

With the advent of personal assistants, you can also set your alarm…by voice. On most Android phones, you have access to Google Assistant which is activated by saying “OK Google”. Other assistants, like Bixby on Samsung-branded devices, have the same capability.

To schedule an alarm clock, all you have to do is ask! “Set alarm for 20 minutes.” works just as well as “Wake me up after 2o minutes.” To manage the alarms created in this way, you just need to return to the application seen in the first point.

Delete an already set alarm

To delete an alarm, simply press and hold the one you want to remove. You will come to a list of created alarm clocks so you can delete as many as you want.

All you have to do is click on the small cross in front of the alarm you want to delete, then on the top right to validate your modification. There you go!

Fine alarm settings

Note that you can also fine-tune the behavior of the alarm. To do this, go to the application settings by pressing the icon at the top right of the home page.

In this menu, you will have the possibility to adjust several things. The first choice lets you set whether the alarm sounds even when your phone is on silent. If you like that your smartphone does not vibrate at night, but are afraid that your alarm clock escapes you, here is something to reassure you! Note that some phones are able, once turned off, to turn on again to sound an alarm: it is also in these options that you can check the availability of such a feature.

“Ringing time” allows you to define how long your alarm will ring by itself if no one turns it off. By default, you can set alarm for 20 minutes. Finally, “Set alarm snoozes” allows you to set the snooze time when, instead of stopping your alarm, you snooze it (the famous Snooze button on old clock radios).
