While Apple Music has it all to be a top-notch music streaming app, it lacks a built-in sleep timer. As someone who likes to fall asleep with relaxing music, the lack of a natural sleep timer feature in Apple Music confuses me. But no need to worry about the lack of this feature, let’s take a look at a workaround to set a sleep timer in Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and even Windows PC.
Set a Sleep Timer in Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows PC
Guess what, iOS comes with a super handy sleep timer that works not only with Apple Music but also with other music streaming apps including Spotify and YouTube Music. The Clock app for iPhone and iPad lets you set your desired sleep timer so you can fall asleep listening to your favorite music.
You can’t tag the Clock app as a native sleep timer for Apple Music, but it fills the gap with ease. This means you won’t need to install a third-party app or spend money to get the job done.
