Clock Alarm Font Too Small

[KnightHa]

Since recent clock app update at the end of February 2024, the alarm names appear too small, making it very difficult to read when one of my alarm goes off. There is no option to adjust font size in the clock app, and changing the font size in display does not change it. Can you please fix this?

@KnightHa: I'm sorry to hear that you're having some trouble making out the alarm name when your alarms are sounding. As a workaround, you may wish to open the Clock app > Alarm > Tap on an alarm > Alarm name, and enter the name in all capitals, as this may help to make it stand out. When you have finished editing the alarm, don't forget to hit 'Save'.

That's not a solution.  This needs to be fixed ASAP. PLEASE

[KnightHa]

I agree with Tcd3 that this is not an acceptable solution and doesn't make the text any more readable. There needs to be a change to the update so that the font either 1) can be changed in the clock app or 2) the size is governed by the font size set under "display" in the general settings which seems to be was the situation before the update. This is an accessibility issue and should therefore be considered a priority.

I'm having the same problem. This isn't good. You can barely read what the alarm is for. I need a banner across my screen. When will this be updated?

[AndrewL]

I have gone ahead and passed this on to our Research and Development Team, and they will explore the possibility of adding the option to adjust the font size of Alarm names in a future update. Once they get back to me, I will let you know. 

[KnightHa]

Thank you! I look forward to hearing what they have to say.

@KnightHa: I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The R&D Team have come back to me, and have noted that there are no plans to introduce the option to adjust the font size in the Clock app/Alarm screen. Apologies for any disappointment this may cause you.

This is disappointing and a deal breaker for me when purchasing my next handset. I have multiple alarms set all day for taking medicine.
