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

Unable to set a downloaded song as an alarm on my new iPhone 16 Pro My new iPhone 16 pro will not let me choose one of my downloaded songs as an alarm sound. Is this a new change or can this be fixed? I have gone through all settings and watched several YouTube videos and all seem to show that it is supposed to work as it did on my previous iPhone.

Again the downloaded songs in my library won’t play on my alarm i look up this problem, try different fixes, and get it working. Then three or six month later, the problem is back and I wake up to the default apple alarm on my phone. Yep, my apple alarm (the one that comes with the phone) won’t play downloaded songs from my library.

This user has a solution --> Alarm not playing the song I selected - Apple Community

See the pic below

The song needs to be on the device and not on iCloud see the pic below for the Alarm clock to play a song.
