How to Use Apple Music as Alarm on iPhone/Android

Part 1. Set Apple Music as Alarm on iPhone Directly

Step 1. Go to the Clock app, and tap on the '+' button to create a new wake up alarm or tap Edit to edit an existing one.

Step 2. Choose Sound > Pick a song.

Step 3. Then you will be taken to your subscribed Apple Music library, select the song you want to set as the alarm.

Now you are all set on your iPhone. Just wait till tomorrow to wake up to your favorite Apple song. Unfortunately, we have not yet found any third-party app that allows Android users to set Apple Music as alarms on their phone directly. But the Google Clock app has connected with Spotify, so users can set Spotify songs as alarm on their Android devices.
