Apple Music for Android is coming with a built-in Sleep Timer. This functionality only exists in iOS devices, but it seems that the Cupertino giant is elevating the game for its app.

What's more is that it will be packed with a lot of features to explore -- something that you can see when using Siri.

Here's how you can set the Sleep Timer on Apple Music on your iPhone or iPad.

As one of the highly-requested options in the platform, Apple has not immediately created a dedicated iPhone sleep timer into the Music App. However, you can natively access it now with your iOS device.

The most recent 3.10 Beta for the app has officially introduced a sleep timer which is deemed to be better compared to the iOS version, 9to5Google writes in its report.

Setting Your Apple Music Sleep Timer

Indeed, it's interesting how the tech titan managed to release Apple Music's sleep timer feature on Android despite the competition among notable software.

According to a report by 9to5Mac on Tuesday, May 3, you can actually set the sleep timer on Apple Music by following the steps below.

First, begin by opening your Apple Music on your iOS device (iPad or iPhone).
Then, access the Clock app and from the bottom right corner of the screen, click the Timer tab.
After this, select When Timer Ends. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom until you see Stop Playing. Click it.
From the top right corner of the screen, select Set. Make sure you pick your desired timer length. Once you're done in this step, press Start.
Lastly, play music in the app and your selected song will stop with the timer.

Shortcut Trick For Apple Music Sleep Timer

Aside from the usual process of setting up the sleep timer on the Apple Music, there's a smart trick that you can do with that -- through a shortcut.

9to5Mac reports that to do this, you need to set the timer function into Stop Playing. Then, continue by setting the sleep timers. You can now select music to play right away.

After that, instruct Siri to assign a timer. While this is easy to do, there's a catch that you need to know. You need to manually maneuver the setting back to utilize the alert sound for the timer.

In other news, YouTube Go is reportedly shutting down in August, Tech Times reports. The stripped-down version of the popular YT app will no longer be available starting that month.

This is a huge loss for people who have devices that are not capable of reaching decent internet speeds. It's also an ideal alternative to the main application because it saves a lot of mobile data.

Other than that, YouTube advises all YouTube Go users to switch back to the original app.
