[br][br]But are we using your phone’s alarm to its full potential, or settling for the standard default ringtone at a certain time and leaving it at that? [br][br]These are the tricks, the apps, and the gadgets that can upgrade your wake-up experience.[br][br]The Clock app on Android[br][br]The Clock app that comes with Android recently added support for Google Assistant routines, so you can turn on your smart lights or get a morning briefing at the same time that your alarm goes off.[br][br]When you’ve set an alarm under the Alarm tab, tap Google Assistant Routine in the panel underneath. [br][br]You can get a report on the weather, the news, or your schedule. [br][br]You can also take your phone out of silent mode or do something with any smart lights, plugs, or thermostats you’ve hooked up to Google Assistant.[br][br][img src="/storage/emulated/0/Download/xkauhfkapr1g61mqbjg5.webp"][br]On top of that you can play the news, a podcast, or an audiobook by selecting an option under the And then play heading (tap the cog icons on the right to configure these features further).[br][br]If you want to wake up to music, tap the alarm sound on the main Alarm screen.
