Here's a quick guide to setting up a Sleep  Timer on your iPhone - which means that any music or podcast you're listening  to will stop when you go to sleep. So to get started let's jump into the Music app and I'm going to play just a  nice bit of calm background music. This will work for podcasts, it'll work on  Spotify - any audio you're playing will work. Then we're going to come out of  here and go into the Clock app. On the Clock app at the bottom you're going to  go down to Timer on the fa
r right hand side. Now from here you can set  any length of timer you like. So perhaps if you're going to bed you might  set one for half an hour or 40 minutes? To show you quickly how it works  I'm going to choose 20 seconds. Now this is the really clever bit… Before we start that timer off we're going to  tap underneath to where it says When Timer Ends. And from here rather than  choosing an alert tone or an alarm if we scroll right to the bottom we  can choose the Stop Playing option. And tha
t will turn off any audio  on your device - as well as that it will also lock your iPhone and turn the  screen off as well, which is super handy! So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start that  timer, and I'll come out of the Clock app as well. Now, it doesn't matter what  you're doing on the phone, but for me to simulate night time  I'll just lock my screen instead. And then as that timer runs out, the music  will stop as soon as it gets to zero. Just like this! And that's it, it's so easy
to  add a sleep timer to your device! And if you want hundreds more tips just  like this one jump onto my Channel down below and maybe even Subscribe when you get there. I'll see you next time!

Thank you so much. A radio app I use removed the sleep option. I did complained and they said I could do this on my iPhone, but they didn’t tell me how I had to search it and it lead me to you. Thank you so much I didn’t even know this option was on my iPhone. A+

Hi subscribing to get this answered please!! I'm trying to figure out how to let my daughter use her iphone for an hour (total, not a specific time of day, so she can divide it up however she wants) on weekdays after school between 3:15pm and 8:30pm. So it shuts down after an hour of use between those hours. Then I want something different for weekends but I won't bore you with more specifics - can I create a schedule like this that she can't manipulate? Thank you for your help!!

@nery1987

Perfect

@timmyvechett

And then, every morning you have to change the timer I forget all the time either way

@Pirlisan

What would be a hack to put it straight in to airplane mode. As I don’t want the phone radiation as I’ sleeping..
