You could if you put your family in your favourites and then configure
Do Not Disturb to allow calls from only your favourites. You can do this
in Settings Do Not Disturb.

Thanks, Chris. I guess the trade off there is that I can't get any
emergency phone calls from family if I'm on Do Not Disturb. Oh well, I
really don't use the iPhone as an alarm that often, but maybe I'll find
new uses for a daytime alarm.

Yes use Do Not Disturb. Go to Control Centre and it's in there. It's a
toggle.

Thanks for responding on this question. Setting the alarm was as easy
as indicated and, much to my relief, went off at the specified time.
however, I also was awoken by a text message from my bank arriving at
5:00 AM, an hour before my desired get up. Is there something that you
can do to not hear that stuff, but still use the alarm function?
Thanks

Hi Robin,
If you just want to set an Alarm there really is no need to get any
extra
app. Yes, there are probably hundreds of Alarm apps out there, but the
alarm
function that is part of the Clock app in iOS works perfectly fine.
1. Open the Clock app
2. Double tap the Alarm tab (second from the left across the bottom)
3. Double tap "Add" at the top right of the screen
4. Swipe right until you come to the hour picker control, swipe up or
down
with one finger to set it to the hour you want (it always displays the
time
when you opened the Clock). Swipe right again and adjust the minutes
in the
same way. Lastly, swipe right again and specify AM or PM.
5. Swipe right and double tap "Repeat, Never" if you want to repat the
alarm
on certain days, you have a list of each day of the week, if you want,
for
example, the same alarm from Monday to Friday, double tap on those
days to
select them, then tap on Back at the top left to go bac to the main
Alarm
screen.
6. Label: Alarm - here you can give your alarm a different name/label.
7. Sound - here you can pick from the available alarm sounds or you
can pick
a song from your music library.
8. Snooze: this is on by default, turn it off if you don't want the
snooze
function to repeate the alarm.
9. When you are done double tap "Save" at the top right of the
screen and
that's it. It's simple and straight forward, if you are happy with no
repeat, snooze and the default sound all you have to do is set the
time and
tap Save.
Any alarms you create will stay in your list of available alarms, if
they
are not repeating they go off at the specified time and then are
turned off,
but you can just double tap on any alarm and turn it back on if you
want to
use it again. This way if you have certain time when you get up, for
example, 6 AM, 6:30 AM, 7 AM, 7:30 AM, 8 AM etc. you could create an
alarm
for each of these times and then all you have to do is pull up the
Clock
app, Alarm will stay selected unless you change it and then double
tap on
the alarm you want to turn it on, then press Home to get back to your
home
screen.
If you have an active alarm it will say "Alarm Set" in the status bar,
unfortunately Apple does not include the time there which I think
would be a
good idea.
If you want to Edit or delete an existing alarm, maybe change the
time or
the sound it uses, just double tap on "Edit at the top left of the
screen,
then you have a Delete switch next to each alarm, double tap it to
turn it
on, then double tap again to delete.
To Edit double tap on the alarm itself and the same screen opens as
when you
set up a new alarm and you can make changes, then Save it.
Regards,
Sieghard

I'm on an Iphone 4 with no Siri. Is it pretty easy to set an alarm
clock
(for waking up) or do you recommend a particular app? Staying at a
hotel
this week and I've never set an alarm on my phone.
