How To Fix Apple Intelligence: Siri Can't Stop Mac Alarms & Timers

Select Language:

If you’re using an iPhone and say “Hey Siri” while your alarm or timer is ringing, it will completely silence the sound. This means the alarm or timer stops ringing right away when Siri responds to your voice command.

However, if you’re on a Mac, the situation is a bit different. Saying “Hey Siri” will mute the alarm or timer temporarily while Siri is speaking or responding to you. When you want to stop the alarm from ringing, you will need to manually click on the notification to turn it off.

This difference in behavior can be a little confusing, but understanding it can help you manage your alarms and timers better, whether you’re on your iPhone or Mac. If you want to quickly stop a ringing alarm or timer on your Mac, just click on the notification that appears. On your iPhone, speaking “Hey Siri” will quiet the alarm instantly.
