Learn how to set, edit, or delete an alarm.

With the Clock app, you can turn your iPhone into an alarm clock. Just open the Clock app from the Home screen or Control Center. You can also ask Siri to set an alarm for you.

How to set an alarm

1. Open the Clock app, then tap the Alarm tab.
2. Tap the Add button .
3. Set a time for the alarm. You can also choose one of these options:
   • Repeat: Tap to set up a recurring alarm.
   • Label: Tap to name your alarm.
   • Sound: Tap to pick a sound that plays when the alarm sounds.
   • Snooze: Turn on to see a Snooze option when the alarm sounds.

How to delete an alarm

Here are some ways you can delete an alarm:

• Swipe left over the alarm and tap Delete.
• Tap Edit, tap the Delete button , then tap Delete.

If the alarm volume is too low or quiet

Do Not Disturb and the Ring/Silent switch don’t affect the alarm sound. If you set your Ring/Silent switch to Silent or turn on Do Not Disturb, the alarm still sounds.

If you have an alarm that doesn’t sound or is too quiet, or if your iPhone only vibrates, check the following:

• Set the volume on your iPhone. If your alarm volume is too low or too loud, press the volume button up or down to adjust it. You can also go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and drag the slider under Ringer and Alerts.
• If your alarm only vibrates, make sure that your alarm sound isn’t set to None. Open the Clock app, tap the Alarm tab, then tap Edit. Tap the alarm, then tap Sound and choose a Sound.
• If you connect headphones or speakers to your iPhone, the alarm plays at a set volume through the built-in speakers on your iPhone as well as wired and wireless headphones and speakers.

Manually adjusting your iPhone’s time in Settings to change app behavior, like game timers, isn’t recommended and can affect alarms.

Question: Q: How can I change the alarm clock sound on my iPhone

I can’t figure out how to change the alarm sound on the Alarm Clock in my iPhone? Anybody got an idea for me?

When you create a new alarm, you get a set of options. The second option is Sounds. Tap on Sounds. You can select from the built in sounds or tap the Buy More Tunes button.

I prefer the more full featured app, Alarmed, in part, because of the variety of tones.

Yeah Apple let’s you buy another alarm..what a load. Why not allow owners to select a song from their music?? Because freakn apple is one greedy miser of a company. Been buying apple exclusively since 1990— but am feed up with this BS. Reminds me more and more of Microsoft, worse actually!

Oh, grow up already.

Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Meg you live on this do you? Thanks for the advice dear, but already grown up. You sound like youre fat and happy? Good luck with that. In the mean time do you recommend jail breaking the device to get more functionality or should I just be a good boy and go ask ask mr apple nicely to do what should already be done?

What’s wrong with you? Use Google and find out how you can create free customed ringtone. You don’t have to buy ringtones from Apple. Go troll somewhere else.

Aug 25, 2012 9:11 PM

If I’m the troll, what does that make you?

Why bother replying if you dont have an answer except to name call. Im sure Apple needs you for that?

Referring back to my original post to the person who recommended Alarming..actually has other words in its title, —Alarming-isnt an alarm app. However i did download the ecommended Alarming bla bla and guess what? It didnt alarm!

Aug 26, 2012 5:00 AM

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension. I recommended the app «Alarmed» which is a very nice alarm program. I’ve used it regularly. In fact, the OP thanked me for the recommendation.

Aug 26, 2012 5:16 AM

Whats wrong -with you? «Alarmed» if youll search in apps is not a clock app.! The clock app has a longer title. Have a good day.

Aug 26, 2012 7:31 AM

What’s wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn’t say «Alarming»? The app tited «Alarmed» is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term «Alarmed». It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone. Oh, and the developer refers to it as «Alarmed» on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we’ve already covered the reading comprehension thing,

Wow. You certainly know how to vent. an apple fan boy or do they actually pay you min wage to spew this vitriol.

Many of us still find it aggravating that selecting your own music isnt a feature yet of the iphone clock. As for the app you suggest, «Alarming

Reminders. » as the app is correctly title -two problems, 1. your phone must stay awake to work.. So if you arent plugged in it will drain your battery. 2. It failed to alarm this morning until i woke my phone!

How to Set a Song as an iPhone Alarm

Wake up and go to sleep to your favorite songs

What to Know

• Add music to alarm: Tap Clock app >Alarm >Plus (+) (or Edit > select alarm). Enter a time > tap Sound > pick a song.
• Set timer to stop music: Tap Clock app >Timer > set time length >When Timer Ends >Stop Playing >Set.
• Your Apple alarm clock only works with songs that are saved in the Music app on your iPhone.

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 Alarm

Setting an alarm with music is done differently than setting ringtones on an iPhone. To make a music alarm, select the Clock app.

In the Clock app, select Alarm from the bottom menu bar.

Select the plus (+) sign to set up a new alarm.

Or, to edit an existing alarm, tap Edit in the upper-left corner, then select the alarm to add music.

Select Sound. Then, under Songs, tap Pick a song.

From your Library, choose the song you want to set as the alarm sound.

In the upper-left corner, select Back, then select Save in the upper-right corner.

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.

On the iPhone home screen, open the Clock app.

Choose Timer in the lower-right corner.

Use the two virtual spin wheels to set the countdown timer to play music. For example, to play the music for an hour, set the time to 1 hour.

Select When Timer Ends.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and choose Stop Playing. Then, select Set in the upper-right corner to save your choice.

Go to the app where your music is, and start playing it.

Return to the Clock app and select Timer. Then, select Start to activate the timer.

The music stops playing automatically after the time you set elapses.

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 Music app. Unfortunately, this means you can’t set the iPhone alarm music to something from Spotify, Pandora, or another music streaming app.

To make a specific song your alarm on iPhone, use Apple Music to purchase the song or sync your phone 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.
