My sleep/wake up alarm sound will only set for one day at a time. I have to go in each day I want to change it (situation — the sound defaults to “early riser” and I want it to be “droplets”). How can I permanently change it without having to redo it every day?
iPhone 11, iOS 14
After much frustration, I figured out how to get it working. Go to your Sleep. There will be an option that says “Full Schedule & Options”. Once you click that, hit the edit button for whatever you sleep schedule you’re trying to fix. At the very bottom, it will say delete schedule. Remove it completely and add it again but this time pick the sound you actually want. Once I did that, I went back out the double check and it worked!
I’m bad at explaining stuff but I hope this helps (that’s if I’m not too late). The Helios sound was waking me up too aggressively so I was desperate to find a solution!

All alarms reminders etc have a Repeat setting. Set it to the days you want or in some cases set "daily"
The Clock alarm you have to check Monday and Tuesday and....
I’m having exactly the same problem. I’ve read this post but tried it to no avail. It seems I can delete the schedule, but then when I go back out to clock it’s still there says tomorrow only or next day. Tap on edit/change itvthen says add schedule...???
yeah a bug to say the least! Also that the tones available under that alarm option and regular manual set alarm, should be the same! The other annoying thing is scrolling through the list of alarm sounds, every time change selection it plays the sample tone at full volume! Turn it quickly down, hear it select the next one and boom full volume!
To be honest, this sleep feature, along with the new self limiting volume feature, is starting to grind at my trust in Apple. I’ve always had iPhones but never had so many software issues than in the last 3 years... and iOS bugs! The testing is either not being done or not well enough. Apple used to be rock solid in stability...
Thanks, but the alarm I’m referring to is the one tied to sleep tracking. In the photo I attached, it’s the top one (not the below ones that can be set with different sounds and options - those work fine for me).
It’s the “sleep/wake up” alarm that makes me change the sound every day, otherwise it defaults to the “early riser” sound. You can see in the photo that it says “tomorrow only” which means it will keep my changed setting for tomorrow only. I’ve tried all the settings within it and can’t permanently set the sound.
No. Definitely tried that already and my alarm is for everyday. Anytime I change the sounds it says “next wake up only”. As you can see my wake up is set up to everyday. Maybe it’s not possible yet or a bug to be fixed..
I have exactly the same problem.
I can set Droplets as an alarm ringtone to wake me up, but I have to do it every night; it will not allow me to set it to repeat.
I can set a different repeating alarm - i.e. not a wake up alarm linked to sleep schedule - but Droplets does not seem to be an option with this. Can anyone help?
Thank you Sachiko492 for solving my problem. It will be good to be woken up gently again.
Next to that in orange it says "Change"
Whether you do it in place in iOS13 or in Health app in iOS14 you should br able to tap on Mon, Tues, .... etc and chsnge the alarm sound
I would forget the sleep schedule and set a standard repeating alarm.
No point in beating yourself up if there is a working alternative.
Sleep/wake up alarm sound sets for only 1 day!
