I'm guessing Clock
Mine isn't like that. Google clock on pixel 7 Pro.
Edit: mines like that. It's the snooze time you set in settings that apply to all alarms.
Honestly makes sense to do it this way. Pick your exact time limited to 30 minutes. Set it once and forget it.
Op is just farming for outrage.
Its a small thing but google is the example for most people. This is bad ui.
How would you change it? A slider would be worse for this setting.
Ever try to use a slider in a password manager to determine the length?
Trying to set your password to 21 characters? 20... 22.. 20.. 24.. 18.. ah fuck it, I guess my password is going to be 18 instead.
When you have a hard limit of 1-30, on a setting you touch once, if ever, this is fine. A text field with the ability to input a number would be okay, except it would confuse people who want more than 30, and that's bad UX.
I still think a slider would be better but im nit a ux developer because im horrible at it but im pretty sure that someone who is paid to do this could figure out something better.
with the easiest method ever: an input that takes only non negative values up to 60 or 24
