Use a Song from Apple Music for Alarm Tone

Using the Clock app on your handset, you can change the alarm tone to any song that’s been downloaded or synced to your phone, including any of the 60 million songs on Apple Music.

Get Your Song

Before you can use a song from Apple Music as your alarm tone, you need to download it to your device. Otherwise, it won’t show up as a choice in the Clock app. Note: You can have songs added to your song library automatically downloaded. To do so, click on Music in the Settings app. From there, toggle Automatic Downloads.

Change Your Alarm Tone

With your song now downloaded to your device, it’s time to make it your alarm tone.
