How to Set Up Siri to Announce the Time on iPhone

Mornings often start with an alarm, especially on Mondays. Constantly hitting the 9-minute snooze prevents you from waking up promptly. iPhone offers a feature where Siri announces the current time when your alarm goes off, helping you start the day faster.

Setting Up Time Announcement

To enable time announcement on iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Install Apple's "Shortcuts" app.
2. Download a ready-made time announcement shortcut. It will appear in the Shortcuts app.
3. Configure Siri's voice, language, and speech rate for maximum convenience.
4. Create an automation: go to the "Automation" tab, select "Alarm" as the trigger, set the condition, and add the "Run Shortcut" action with the "Announce Time" shortcut.

Now, when you dismiss or snooze an alarm, Siri will announce the current time. This helps avoid morning procrastination and sets you up for a productive day.
