TL;DR

• Google Clock may soon bring back the option to dismiss or snooze alarms by sliding.
• The option was replaced by buttons with Clock’s Material 3 Expressive redesign.
• In addition to testing this change, Google is also bringing two minor tweaks to Clock with the latest update.

Google’s Android team spent a significant chunk of 2025 overhauling various system apps with the more modern Material 3 Expressive UI. One of the apps that received a refresh was Google Clock, which introduced extensive changes, including prominent fonts, larger buttons, and more vibrant background colors. But with this revamp, Google also changes a key alarm functionality, replacing its snooze and dismiss sliders with buttons.

However, the option to use a slider may be returning soon. Instead of just bringing the option back, Google may also revamp it by giving users the option to choose between the slider and the buttons.
