TL;DR
- Google is making minor improvements to Android’s default Clock app.
- The update also refines the alarm screen for better usability.
- These features are already rolling out with the latest version.
After the first major dose of Material 3 Expressive that the Clock app received in August last year, Google has made several adjustments to fine-tune elements for better viewing and usability. Most recently, Google brought back the option to swipe away alarms instead of forcing you to tap specific buttons, and is now leaning in with more design optimizations.
Google is now rolling out version 8.6 of the Clock app, and we spotted a few minor improvements. While these may not qualify as quality-of-life improvements, they should make your experience slightly better.
