How to set Spotify song as alarm sound on your iPhone

Have you noticed that it allows you to pick a song? It’s time to say Goodbye to the terrible Radar tone, hello to the song of your choice.

Many Spotify users ask if it is possible to set Spotify music as alarm sound on iPhone? The answer is yes. However, you can't set Spotify song as alarm directly.

There is no option to set the iPhone alarm music to something from Spotify, Pandora, or another music streaming app. However, if you can download Spotify music to MP3 and then save it to Music Library, you can then set the Spotify music as an alarm sound on your iPhone. Here we will show you how.
