Despite being long overdue, the Google Clock app has now clocked a very impressive 1 billion downloads on the Play Store.

The Google Clock app has become a go-to app for setting alarms and timers, and now with the added features and functions, it’s a really good alarm clock installed on your device. The Bedtime feature is a digital wellbeing option that helps boost Google Clock over other competitors on the Play Store competing for your downloads.

According to Android police urged the download figure of Google Clock to 1 billion milestones and as they note, could possibly put Google Clock as the most popular alarm clock on the planet – especially now most people rely on their smartphones instead of dedicated bedside clocks. The Google Clock download diagram is no doubt pre-installed on selected devices, but many OEMs prefer their own standalone options. This makes the figure more impressive.

Integration with music players like YouTube Music and Spotify lets you wake up to your favorite playlist – don’t do this, it spoils certain tracks for you. Bedtime mode includes a “Sleep Noise” option that will play soft waves, space waves, and a slow sound before you leave. These additions may be sufficient to ensure that Google Clock is downloaded to the stock option on your device:

One feature that is often overlooked is that when you back up your device, the Google Clock app saves your existing alarms and timers. This means that if you switch smartphones and restore from backup, then you have alarms activated or toggled, then it will return to normal. Someone who changes phones almost on a weekly basis, this is one of the reasons why Google Clock is a must-download for me on other options.
