How to play music when the alarm is stopped on iPhone
To listen to your favorite songs when you stop the alarm, you have to use the automation feature in the Shortcuts app that automatically opens the Music app when you stop or snooze the alarm. Before that, you have to ensure whether you already have a playlist or, if not, you have to create a playlist with the songs you wish to listen to. However, if your playlist already exists, follow the steps below.
Here’s how to play music when the alarm is stopped on iPhone or iPad using the shortcut app.
- Open the Shortcuts app and tap Automation.
- Then, tap Create Personal Automation. (If you have already set up some automation, tap the plus button (+) first.
- Tap Alarm.
- Depending on your preference, choose Is Snoozed or Is Stopped. (In this setup, I choose Is Stopped option).
- Then, select the Wake-Up alarm or tap Existing > select your wake-up alarm > tap Done. (You can set up the alarm anytime if you choose Any option), and tap Next.
- Tap Play Music under suggested actions or tap Add Action by searching for Play Music. Tap to add it.
