- Google has updated the Clock app to make it easier to create a custom alarm.
- You can now record an alarm right from the app. Previously, you would need to record something and then sideload it.
- So far, this appears to be a Pixel exclusive.
It’s always been fairly easy to create a unique alarm for your phone. There are a ton of third-party alarm apps out there, and you could always create an alarm sound and then move it to your phone using the file explorer.
However, making a custom alarm in the official Google Clock app just got much easier (via XDA-Developers). Thanks to a recent update, you can head to the Alarm Sound section of the app and find a new tool called “Record New.” You can record whatever sound you like and then set it as an alarm.
