How To Tell Siri to Set an Alarm on Weekdays Only
You likely find it convenient to use Siri to set an alarm just by saying, "Set an alarm for tomorrow morning at 6 am." However, you can also instruct Siri to set an alarm for more than a single day, including setting the alarm for every day or for weekdays only, which is significantly faster than checking every day individually when manually setting an alarm in the clock app.

To set an alarm for every day:
-
Activate Siri by holding the Home button; if you have a phone with Hey Siri enabled, you can activate Siri that way as well.
-
Say, "Set an alarm for every day at 6 a.m." Siri will respond, "OK, I set an alarm for 6 a.m. starting tomorrow."
To set an alarm for weekdays only:
-
Activate Siri by holding the Home button; if you have a phone with Hey Siri enabled, you can activate Siri that way as well.
-
Say, "Set an alarm for weekdays at 6 a.m." Siri will respond, "Your alarm's set for 6 a.m. starting Monday." It might also say "starting Tomorrow," if tomorrow is a weekday.
To see your alarms, open the Clock app and tap Alarms at the bottom of the screen.
