Manage Alarms on An Android Phone
There can be the following 3 main scenarios in which a user may want to cancel or delete an alarm on an Android phone:
Cancel or Dismiss an Alarm on an Android Phone
The process to cancel or dismiss an alarm on an Android phone can be divided into the following 3 cases:
Before the Alarm Time
If the alarm time has not reached, then If the alarm time is near, then you may also see a notification in the notifications tray that may state Upcoming Alarm. If that is the case, then you may tap on Dismiss now to get rid of that alarm. But do not forget to enable back the alarm the next day (if required).
After the Alarm Has Started Ringing
Once the alarm has started ringing, then: Tap on Stop or Dismiss to stop the alarm. Some users may see a Slide to Turn Off Alarm prompt and if that is the case, slide the prompt to stop the alarm.
After Snoozing the Alarm
Usually, at least one of the alarms is set to wake a user from sleep and the user, being a bit sleepy, may accidentally hit the snooze button (not the stop button) and that may configure the alarm to ring later (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.). If that is the case and the user wants to cancel or dismiss the snoozed alarm, then:
Delete An Alarm on An Android Phone
If a particular alarm is no more required by a user, then to delete it, he may follow the following steps:
Delete All Alarms at Once on an Android Phone
A user may use the above method to delete all the alarms from Clock but for a user with 50 or 100 plus alarms, the task may become arduous. In such a case, the following steps can be helpful:

The above-mentioned 3 scenarios can also be true in the case of an iPhone.

Follow the below steps to cancel an alarm on an iPhone before the alarm time:
After the Alarm has Started Ringing
Once the alarm is ringing, then: Swipe up (or left) on the screen/passcode and that may dismiss or cancel the alarm. You can also tap on Stop to stop the alarm. You may also press the power button of the iPhone to cancel the alarm.
After Snoozing the Alarm
To cancel or dismiss once an alarm is snoozed:
Delete an Alarm on an iPhone
Once an alarm is no more required, a user may want to remove it. To do so:
Delete All Alarms at once on an iPhone
Although the above steps can be used to delete all the alarms on an iPhone, in case there are 50 or more alarms, then that may take some time and effort. But there is a shortcut: If an alarm keeps popping back, then check any assistant app (like Google Assistant), health app (like Google Fit), calendar app (like Google Calendar), or any other such app that may be triggering the alarm. If you are still not comfortable with the alarm management or clocks apps of these phones i.e., Android and iPhone, then you may try a 3rd party clock app. There are plenty of wonderful Clock apps (paid and free) available for each platform.
