Updated on April 17, 2022 This article explains how to set an alarm with music on iPhone iOS 6 and above, and how to set a timer to stop playing music on iPhone iOS 12 and above. How to Add Music to an iPhone AlarmSetting an alarm with music is done differently than setting ringtones on an iPhone. To make a music alarm, select the Clock app.
Set Up the Timer to Stop MusicThe Clock app has a Stop Playing feature that automatically turns off any music, video clip, TV show, etc., that's playing on your iPhone. Start the Stop Playing timer, then turn on your music and doze off to your favorite tunes, confident that your iPhone will turn off the music when you want it to.
You must switch When Timer Ends back to a tone if you need to use your timer for other purposes and want to hear it go off. Can't Find the Right Alarm Clock Song?Your personal Apple alarm clock only works with songs that are saved to your phone in the iPhone Music app. Unfortunately, this means you can't set the iPhone alarm music to something from Spotify, Pandora, or other music streaming apps. To make a specific song your alarm on iPhone, use Apple Music to purchase the song or sync your iPhone with your computer to transfer the song from iTunes to the iPhone. You can also download free ringtones and make your own iPhone ringtones to use as custom alarm clock sounds. How to Fix an iPhone Alarm That's Not Working FAQ
