Alarm Playing Wrong Sound

I recently decided to change my alarm sounds to some songs I have in my Apple Music library. I've noticed they don't ever play at their selected times though. I read another community post for this issue with iOS14, but I'm currently using iOS 16.1.1 on an iPhone 12. I've made sure the songs I want to here have been downloaded for offline listening, I've even deleted my existing alarms to make a new sound selection instead of editing a previously selected sound, and have also tried a hard reset to see if maybe that would help. Nothing seems to have worked. How do I get the songs I selected to play as my alarm sounds?

Hey there nicomesa,


We understand you've attempted to resolve the issue with Apple Music songs not working as alarm sounds, using some great troubleshooting steps.


Since the issue is unresolved after updating iOS and removing and adding the alarms, and if testing multiple songs doesn't make a difference, reach out to Apple Support for further assistance: Contact - Official Apple Support


Take care.
