Alarm switches to Radar

so there are a lot of discussions on this topic so i just want to add to the pile


in june 2021 i first had this problem and i found out that you need to download the song for it to work(weird, no explanation, no mentioning of this anywhere but this forum), so everything was fine. then i got a new iphone(previously 7+, now 14) and this problem returned, and even if when picking a song for the alarm i tap choose from libabry->downloaded, it won’t work. it even plays the song when i choose it when setting up the alarm, but i still wake up to radar, i swear i’m gonna have a heart attack one morning if this doesn’t get fixed soon


edit: one thing i noticed is that if i choose a song that i manually added to my apple music library (cmd+O on mac apple music) that is downloaded- it will actually work. weird exception but better than radar and the other default alarm tones.

Hey TheLucky16,


We'd be happy to point you in the best direction for support. You've already explained that you know how to set an alarm and select the tone you'd like, but you're getting unexpected behavior and the incorrect tone when the alarm goes off.


With that being the case, you'd be best supported by reaching out to Apple for further support on the unexpected behavior, especially as long as you've been dealing with this matter.


They can be reached using the following link: Get Support


Take care!
