How to Add Music to an iPhone Alarm
Setting 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 Music
The 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. Or, to edit an existing alarm, tap Edit in the upper-left corner, then select the alarm to add music.
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.
