Issue with Alarm clock playing default sound

My iPhone 13, alarm clock is still playing default sound instead of my song. I have updated to the most recent software. And yes my song is downloaded to the phone. Not sure what to try next? Please advise.

Hi Lisa9,

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

Re: "Issue with Alarm clock playing default sound"

Seems, when setting the alarm sound in the clock app, after you select the song you want, it is necessary to click "Save".

Else, if it is the "wake-up alarm in your sleep schedule" ... seems you would need to choose a ringtone. (ie: a song is too long to be used ... ring-tones are much shorter.)

If you wish:

You may be able to make a ringtone from the song you want (eg: in Garageband)

All the best :-)
