iOS: Similar to Android, use the Clock app, go to the Timer tab, set your desired time, tap on “When Timer Ends,” scroll down and select “Stop Playing,” then start your timer.
Speaker Users: If you’re using an Amazon Echo device, you can set a sleep timer with a voice command. Simply say, “Alexa, set a sleep timer for [duration].” Alexa will confirm that the sleep timer has been set and will stop playing music when the time is up.
