AlarmKit: volume buttons for snoozing

Hi,

Is there any way to make AlarmKit alarms snooze when the user presses the hardware volume buttons? Currently, pressing a volume button while an AlarmKit alarm is ringing stops/dismisses the alarm.

Why this matters: Many users instinctively press the volume buttons when an alarm starts (either to react quickly while half-asleep or because they’re used to the Clock app behavior). When this stops the alarm entirely, users unintentionally dismiss the alarm, which can lead to missed wake-ups and a poor user experience. In practice, this becomes a frequent source of confusion and frustration because the behavior differs from the system Clock app.

Thanks for your post, as you can see the buttons turn off the alarm and the swipe snoozes the AlarmKit. We have an FAQ here about AlarmKit that I believe Q4 answers that:

Hope this helps.
