Alarm not playing downloaded music

Since last updates, iPhone won’t play music from ITunes. My old alarms still have songs, but new alarm added only gives standard ringtone alarms as an option

Hi Seattle_Nurses,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! When creating a new alarm, you should be able to pick a song for your alarm sound from the 'Sound' section. You may have to scroll up to the top to see the option. If you don't see the option, we suggest restarting your device. A restart can fix many issues: Restart your iPhone

If you have an update to your software, we recommend updating as well: Update your iPhone or iPad. Updates include bug fixes and improvements.

Cheers!
