Why Nine Minutes?
Apple has not officially explained the reasoning for their nine-minute snooze time. But, unofficial sources, like Apple Explained, believe that this snooze time comes from mechanical alarm clocks. In those days, it was not possible to adjust the clock’s gear teeth to line up perfectly for a ten-minute snooze, so they settled for the nine-minute snooze time.
Your Options for Modifying the Snooze Time on iPhone
There’s no way to change the snooze time in your iPhone’s Clock app, but you can use a couple of workarounds to get your job done.
In case you do not wish to use multiple alarms, another way to use a custom snooze time on your iPhone is to utilize a third-party alarm app. There are both free and paid apps available for the iPhone with custom snooze times.
We’ll show you how to use both of the above methods.
Customize Snooze Times by Setting Multiple Alarms on iPhone
To set up multiple alarms and have each alarm act as a snooze reminder, launch the Clock app on your iPhone.
In the Clock app, at the bottom, tap “Alarm.”
In the “Alarm” page’s top-right corner, tap the “+” (plus) sign to add a new alarm.
You will see an “Add Alarm” screen. Here, specify the time for your snooze alarm. If your main alarm is set for 9 AM and you want a five-minute snooze reminder, set this alarm for 9:05 AM. Disable the “Snooze” option as you won’t need it.
Then choose other options, like the sound for your alarm, the alarm label, and so on. Finally, save your alarm by tapping “Save” in the top-right corner.
Set as many alarms (snooze reminders) as you want. Then, when the time is up, your alarms will start ringing one after another.
We hope that helps you catch a bit of sleep even after your main alarm has rung!

A “New Alarm” page will open. Here, set the main alarm. Then, tap “Snooze.”
On the “Snooze” screen, enable the “Snooze” toggle. Then, specify the custom snooze time in the “Snooze Duration” field. When that’s done, head back to the previous screen by tapping “New Alarm” in the top-left corner.
Save your alarm with a custom snooze time by tapping “Save” in the top-right corner.
