How to restore music or video by timer on iPhone. The perfect solution for those who like to fall asleep to the sounds

Have you ever fallen asleep to any track or sound of a soothing video and woke up with a dead battery due to the music or video playing all night long?

To be honest, this happened to me repeatedly, until I found out how you can set a timer on the iPhone to stop music or video. This feature is built into the standard Clock application, which is absolutely on every iPhone, but many simply do not know that this is possible.

At least once a month I tell one of my friends about this handy feature because I hear complaints like “oh, my iphone is almost dead because i was sleeping to the music“. Well, set the timer for an hour and the music will stop by itself!

Here’s how to do it:

How to Set a Timer for iPhone to Sleep

1. Open the Clock app for iPhone and select Timer at the bottom of the screen

2. Set the desired time in hours and nearby places after which the iPhone should go to sleep

3. Click on the word “Choose” and scroll down the list of ringtones to “Stop”

4. Click “Install” in the right corner of the view, and then the round green “Start” button.

That’s it, now you can play some video on YouTube, start music or a podcast from Apple Music or any other streaming services, or even just activate the soothing background sounds of nature built into the iPhone, like rain in the forest.

When the timer expires, your iPhone will go to sleep and turn off all running apps. The music will stop, the battery will save power, and you will not need to wake up suddenly at night to automatically restore bubbling from the speakers of the gadget.

Important: if you use the counter exactly as a timer, when a sound signal should sound according to the application of the time interval, the “Stop” parameter (point 3) on the melody is not affected.

This is how it looks. be careful:

I myself somehow forgot about it and thought that my iPhone unusual glitchwhen the timer just locks the screen without any sound.

Now you know exactly how to set a timer to stop music or video on your iPhone, and you can fall asleep peacefully without fear that your device will work all night.
