How to Set Apple Music as Alarm Directly on iPhone?

For iPhone users, setting Apple Music as the alarm is a simple thing because the “Alarm” app installed on iOS devices can directly allow you to pick a song from the Apple Music library for setting as an alarm. However, you need to make sure that the Apple Music songs are downloaded in your library, or you would still fail to do it. This also means that setting Apple Music as an alarm on iPhone needs an Apple Music membership subscription. If you have been a member and saved some offline Apple Music songs, you can follow the steps here to set any of them as an alarm on your iPhone directly.
Step 1. Open the “Clock” app on your iPhone and select the “Alarm” section.
Step 2. Now, click “+” on the top-right corner to add a new alarm. Or you can select the existing one and click “Edit” to change its sound.
Step 3. Then on the alarm editing page, choose “Sound” and find the “Pick a song” button in the menu.
Step 4. When the app shows your Apple Music library, directly select a song to set as an alarm.
Step 5. After choosing the Apple Music song, click “Back” and tap “Save” to finish the setting.
