Do Alarms Turn Off Automatically After a Long Period of Time?

Here’s the story. I went to a vacation overseas but still would like to receive sms. So I left my old phone back home with my sim and setup an sms forwarding stuff that automatically sends all my received sms to my email. (using Tasker and AutoMail since I already use those).

Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off my weekday alarm. I was wondering if the alarm turns off after some time that it wasn’t dismissed (an hour? half a day? etc.) because I’m worried that my neighbor (we live in a condo) would go nuts if my phone is ringing 24/7 while I’m away.

Phone is on Android 10, LG G7 ThinQ, and the alarm app is Sleep As Android.

    I have a midday alarm clock on my android tablet. I had set it when I was unemployed and needed a reminder every 1:30PM to take my medication.

    Since getting a job, I haven’t been home at 1:30, and when I get home, the tablet is silent and says “missed alarm” on it.

    So in short, yes…eventually. But I don’t know how long it blares for.

    Mine does on multiple Android phones (Honor, Samsung, ). The alarm will turn off after a while and become a notification “Missed alarm” if the phone was on.

    You can test it easily to check if it’s different for you: Set up an alarm without ringtone and vibration and just leave it alone for a while. That’s how I found out, because I just need one alarm when my phone is in sight.

      Yup I got the google pixel 3 and then the 6. On both phones, it will turn off after 30 minutes. I sometimes will sleep through it.

    My roomate left his phone on the charger while away for the weekend (obviously a mistake) and his alarm was going off for over 4 hours before I just jimmied the lock on his door to stop it.

    I’m not sure if the alarm on Android ever stops without manually being stopped.

    Yes, just this morning I slept through one on Android 14. I woke up much later with a notification something like “skipped alarm” or something like that

      OP could’ve changed the settings according to the docs to repeat backup alarms with that app :)

      RIP their neighbour.

      Fun tidbit? I have a Cubot King Kong Pro (yes, it’s called that) which has the old Nokia feature of actually turning the phone on if its off to sound a scheduled alarm. I left my Cubot in my locker at work and it wasn’t until I got back in a week or so later did my locker neighbour tell me about my locker, making funny sounds…I have “Fuck You Mr Garrison” as one of my alarm tones.

      Ooops.
