Alarm is not playing songs i choose it to play

Hi Posylchuk,

Thanks for connecting with us here in Apple Support Communities. If you change the alarm to a different sound altogether, does it still switch or does it stay the same tone selected? Is the song you're attempting to play music that you purchased in iTunes? See: How to set and change alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support

Cheers.

Hi Posylchuk

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: Alarm is not playing songs i choose it to play

If the songs have not been downloaded to your phone they will not play.

Else:

Wondering which method you are using to change the alarm sound.

Below is Apple's method, if it is any different, you might give that a try.

Change the next wake up alarm

The wake up alarm in the Clock app shows the next wake up time in your sleep schedule (if you’ve set up a sleep schedule in the Health app).

Although you don’t set the wake up alarm in Clock, you can make changes to it in Clock after you’ve set up a sleep schedule.

1. Tap Alarm, then tap Change.
2. Adjust your sleep and wake times.
3. Drag  to change your wake up time,  to change your bedtime, or the semicircle between the icons to shift both times simultaneously.
4. Scroll down to Alarm Options, then change any of the following:

• • Alarm: Tap to turn the alarm off or on.
  • Sounds & Haptics: Tap to choose a vibration or ringtone.
  • Alarm volume: Drag the slider.
  • Snooze: Turn on to give yourself a few more minutes of sleep.

Above is for iOS 16, from Apple support's article:

*** Seems to say you need to "save" when you make changes to an alarm.

Hope there's something helpful in the two iOS 16 articles.

All the best :-)
