Set an alarm on iPhone
In the Clock app , you can set regular alarms for any time of day and have them repeat on one or more days of the week.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Set an alarm for 9 a.m. every Friday” or “Wake me up tomorrow at 7 a.m.” Learn how to ask Siri.
Note: The Wake Up alarm in Clock is set in the Health app as part of a full sleep schedule (including bedtimes, wake up times, and more). If you don’t want to set up a sleep schedule, you can set a regular alarm in Clock for the time you want to wake up.

You can set regular alarms for any time, including one for the time you want to wake up. (A regular alarm is unrelated to any sleep schedule.)

Tap Alarm, then tap Change.
Adjust your sleep and wake times.
Drag to change your wake up time, to change your bedtime, or the semicircle between the icons to shift both times simultaneously.
Scroll down to Alarm Options to change any of the following:
Wake Up Alarm: Tap to turn the alarm off or on.
Sounds & Haptics: Tap to choose a vibration or ringtone.
Alarm volume: Drag the slider.
Snooze: Turn on to give yourself a few more minutes of sleep.
To make changes to your sleep schedule that extend beyond your next wake up alarm, tap Edit Sleep Schedule in Health. (See Add or change sleep schedules in Health on iPhone).
