The sleep timer on Apple iOS automatically switches off your podcasts, music and other apps after a certain time. You can use this snooze function on iPhone and iPad.
Audiobooks, podcasts and music are the perfect way for many people to fall asleep, so it’s no surprise that many people listen to this content on their iPhone and iPad late into the night. It’s annoying, however, when your iPhone or iPad continues to emit sounds until the next morning. With the sleep timer on Apple iOS, you can automatically switch off audio playback after a certain time and prevent your mobile device from unnecessarily playing new content until the early hours of the morning.
