In most smart phones the alarm feature is software dependent. This means if the device has been powered off or is no longer working your alarm will not go off as the software is no longer running.Click to see full answer. Keeping this in consideration, will alarm work if Samsung phone is off?No, your Samsung Android device cannot activate any alarm you have set on it if the device is turned off. The device must be turned on to activate the alarm in your Samsung Smart Phone.Beside above, does iPhone alarm work when off? No. The alarm won’t sound if your iPhone is switched off. If you want an alarm to go off, your iPhone must remain on. It can be in sleep mode (with the screen off), on Silent, and even have Do Not Disturb turned on and the alarm will still sound when it’s meant to. Likewise, can your alarm ring when phone is off? It depends on the phone and on the alarm app. Some offer this specific function in case your phone does not wake automatically. Anyway, if you put your phone into airplane mode, it is much like turning it off: provided background apps are closed, all your phone is gonna do is wait for the alarm to ring.Will my alarm stay on if I update my phone?stay exactly as they were before you updated. The only thing that may change if there is a new feature added in the update but pre-set alarms won’t be affected. Will my Android phone alarm still go off if “Do Not Disturb” is on?

Are there any apps to do this?

There are no phones that will allow the alarm to work with the phone turned off. This is because the phone is off and there is no power for anything to run.

Hi NexusGirlX and thanks. However I know that some manufacturers put in the "schedule"(I can set my phone to turn on at a precise hour and minute of the day.); with this "alarm" I set the normal alarm few minutes after and I have a good things...
Goodbye!

P.SI think that's a setting on older Android devices, maybe Motorola still uses it, I don't know. But none of the new Samsung phones I've used had that setting.

I can confirm Huawei phones allow the alarm to ring when the phone is off. Here is a screen shot from my Mate 20 Pro. It asks if you still want the alarm to go off, and I can confirm it does go off.

I too was going to say Huawei phones. My Honor 8 (a sub brand of Huawei) would turn on to activate my alarms even when it had been powered off.

You could always use a battery app to control this. I use battery widget reborn and it basically puts the entire device into sleep mode, allowing alarms and important calls to go through while turning off wifi, data and any other functions you want to disable.
