Cannot dismiss Alarm clock from lock screen

That's the way it was with the upgrade to Android 9, but it doesn't seem to be the same this time.

It's amazing. Set the "Appear on top" permission resolved the problem.

I had the same problem and found the solution.  In the app (clock) settings, you must allow the "appear on top" function. It will allow the app to sent notifications to the top screen even when in the locked screen mode.

The appear on top setting is set on my S10+ and it still doesn't work.

Recently migrated from the Note 8 to a Note 10 Plus using the SmartSwitch app:

-- Google Clock app, NO dismiss/snooze icon on lock screen when alarm fires!

-- Tried adjusting setting within the app and the lock screen settings, nothing!

Let's start from scratch:

-- Goto: Settings > Apps > Clock > 1. Force Stop;  2. Storage;  3. Clear cache;  4. Clear data.

-- Exit all apps.

-- Launch the Google Clock app, set a test alarm, lock the screen.

-- Wow, that worked. Whew!

Summary notes:

-- Likely cause, Google Clock stored data from the Note 8 wasn't compatible with Note 10 Plus.

-- Solution, clear all cached and stored data, restart the Google Clock app.

Had the same issue and this worked for me on my S20 Ultra

Settings -> Accessibility -> Interaction and dexterity  -> Assistant menu -> Single tap to swipe [on] 

Hope that helps

Tried this .... touch and hold and then swipe up to activate the button and it works like a charm.
