To set a ringtone on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Sounds & Haptics (or just Sounds on some models).
- Tap Ringtone to see the list of available ringtones.
- Browse through the list and tap the ringtone you want to use. You will hear a preview when you tap it.
- Once selected, the ringtone will be set as your default for incoming calls
If you want to set a custom ringtone (for example, a song you like), you have a few options:
- Use the GarageBand app on your iPhone to create a custom ringtone from a song file. This involves importing the song, trimming it to 30 seconds or less, and exporting it as a ringtone within GarageBand
- Use third-party apps like iRingg on your computer to select a song, trim it, and export it directly to your iPhone as a ringtone without needing iTunes or GarageBand
- You can also purchase or download ringtones from the iTunes Store via the Tone Store inside the ringtone settings
After adding a custom ringtone, it will appear in the ringtone list, and you can select it as your default ringtone the same way as built-in tones
. This process personalizes your iPhone’s call sound and helps you identify calls easily.
