iOS 26 alarms fail to play local music

Why do alarms still fail to play from local music and revert to radar tone in iOS 26 ?


this should be resolved by now !!


its 2025 , bugs have existed since as far back as 2017 !


I’ve EE music as an add-on to my bill , listening to any song by searching for it will play fine,

but the Apple Music store doesn’t recognise this and for 1) will still show a price for songs and 2) still has a problem with “Lossless” sound or “Dolby Atmos” files causing issues for alarms successfully playing .


ive just had a long conversation with Google AI to ask if iOS 26 has resolved these bugs, only to find out they still exist .

I’m so fed up at sleeping in now because Apple still cannot address this !!!


Here’s a copy of the link with me quizzing Goggle AI about failed alarms and having the best sound on AirPods etc at the same time !
