You want to wake up to a specific song instead of the default alarm tones on your iPhone. You can easily set your own music as an alarm sound using the Clock app.

  1. Open the Clock app on your iPhone and tap the Alarm tab to create a new alarm or select an existing one to edit it. [0:06]
  2. Tap the “Sound” section to view your available alert options. [0:23]
  3. Select your preferred song from your downloaded iTunes or Apple Music library. [0:30]
  4. Tap the back button and then hit Save to apply your new alarm sound.

Ninja Tip: If you want to use a specific part of a song rather than the beginning, use the GarageBand app to trim the track to your preferred 30-second clip and save it as a custom ringtone in your sound settings.

If you encounter persistent issues with your audio settings, perform a reset via Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings.
