YouTube Music and Spotify are both very popular music streaming apps with an endless library of songs, albums, and podcasts. Even when it comes to the user interface, there is not much that separates the two apps. However, there is one feature that gives Spotify a small advantage over its rival. Unlike YouTube Music, Spotify has a Sleep Timer option that automatically shuts off music playback after a certain period of time. This is particularly designed for people who like to fall asleep while listening to music but don’t want to wake up with a depleted battery. You can set up the duration after which Spotify will stop the music playback. While YouTube Music does not have this option, there are a few workarounds that will help you achieve the same result. In this article, we bring you the top simple ways to set a sleep timer on YouTube Music on Android and iPhone.
