How do I view Alarm app details after iOS 26 update?

iOS 26 has completely screwed up the clock functions. Now, when alarms pop up, I cannot read what the alarms are for.

Because of this iOS update, now I can only see at the top of the screen that an alarm is going off, not what the alarm is for.

I need that information! I need it as soon as the alarm comes up. And now it doesn’t work because of this iOS update.

Does anyone have a solution for this so I can actually see the critical information about what the alarm is for?

iOS 26 hides alarm labels on some devices. Turn on full notification previews, enable full-screen alerts in Clock notifications, review Focus settings, or use Sleep Schedule alarms for detailed text.

There is no option to enable full screen alerts in the clock notifications, nor is there an option for full notification preview.

Focus isn’t a factor because it’s happening in every setting for focus.

The problem is that the alarms display at the display at the top of my screen in a way so that the notification takes up so much room I cannot read the name/label of the alarm.

I believe it’s a design flaw and I cannot figure out a workaround. I appreciate your suggestions, but they did not work/were not applicable.

Perhaps I did not understand your question but I just did a test with a long alarm title and I'm seeing part of the title when the alarm goes off (I'm using iOS 26.2.):
