How to Change the Alarm Sound on an iPhone

Don't like the tone that plays when your iPhone's alarm goes off? It's easy to customize your alarm song or sound! Whether you set your alarm in the Clock app, by asking Siri, or by creating a Sleep/Wake Up schedule (a feature formerly known as Bedtime), you can edit any of your alarm sounds at any time on the Clock app's Alarm tab. We'll show you how!

    • The selection of sounds available for Wake Up alarms are different than those in standard alarms. Wake up sounds are less jarring, which should be nicer to wake up to.
