You go into the clock app
And set the timer
The whole point of the assistant is to automate the manual steps 🤔
While true, I think those two steps are simple enough as is and really aren't improved by a digital assistant
Then what's the point of the digital assistant?
Seriously, people in the comments seem to have drunk so much google coolaid it isn't even funny. It's an obvious bug that doesn't let your "digital assistant" setup something that you personally would be able to setup.
There isn't a rationale here, there isn't some hidden tech, it's just shitty design.
It was not my aim to defend Google on my first remark, only to gently mock what seems a triviality. I found this post among gloomy world news, out of its proper context. Such a contrast can make anything seem absurd.
Beats me, I don't use it
The whole problem is that you can't set an alarm more than 24 hours ahead of time unless you set it to repeat. The timer also gets reset if the phone restarts or if you bump the stop button on the notification screen. Workarounds work most of the time but they set you up for problems. The artificial limitation is unnecessary and just creates problems for people like myself who have ADD.
I said so elsewhere to one other, but I will reiterate that the jest came from viewing the remark outside of its proper context. I apologize for trivializing the matter.
Oneplus clock app lets you choose any date and time in the future for alarms so I would assume many other apps can do this too.
