How to Change the Ringtone on iPhone

For Everyone

Your iPhone is set to the default ringtone out of the box. But because so many people use iPhones without bothering to change their ringtone, you end up reacting when someone's phone rings. Having different ringtones is a good auditory signal, making it easier to tell when your phone is ringing, and whether you just don't like the default ringtone. These are the steps involved in changing the ringtone on your iPhone for every incoming call:

• Go to the Settings app.
• Click sound and touch.

• Choose a ringtone.

• #Select the new tone you want to use from the list.

That's it! This will change your default ringtone.

For selected contacts

This is an underutilized feature on smartphones. On almost all modern smartphones, including iPhones, you can select a different ringtone to play for specific contacts when they call you. This is useful for distinguishing calls from your partner, your boss, or someone you've listed as an emergency contact but doesn't call you regularly. Hearing different ringtones makes it easier to identify who is calling without having to look at the phone. Here are the steps to set a different ringtone for specific personal contacts:

• Launch the Phone app.
• Go to the Contacts tab.

• Click on the contact you want to set a unique ringtone for and then tap the Edit button in the upper right corner.

• Scroll down and click on the ringtone.

• Select the ringtone you want to set from the ringtone list. This will only change the ringtone for this specific contact.

That's it. You have to change the ringtone for each contact you want a separate ringtone for.

How to set a custom ringtone on iPhone

The steps above are used to choose from a handful of ringtones that Apple preinstalls on every iPhone. What if you want to set your own audio as a ringtone? Here are the steps!

Using GarageBand

GarageBand is an application that comes preinstalled on new iPhones, iPads, and Macs. If you've deleted it, you can download it for free from the App Store, so this part is still accessible.

• Launch the GarageBand app on your iPhone.
• Click the plus sign ( ) icon in the upper right corner.

• Select "Recorder" in the "Tracks" tab.

• Click the third icon in the upper left corner of the screen as shown in the screenshot below.

• Click the "Loop" icon in the upper right corner.

• Select the File tab.

• # Select the Browse item from the Files app.

• Click on the track you have downloaded and wish to set as your ringtone.
• This will import the track into the Files section of the Loop.

• Drag the imported file to the left side of the screen and release.

• Click the button in the upper left corner.

• Choose my song.

• Rename the project - if you wish.

• Click and hold the item and select Share.

• Select the ringtone in the middle of the screen.

• Click Export in the upper right corner.

• Look! You'll now find it in the "Sounds & Haptics" section of the Settings app - where you can set it as your iPhone's ringtone.

Using iTunes

If the audio file is on your Mac or Windows PC, you can use Finder or iTunes respectively to transfer it. However, if you have the former, it's easier and faster to use AirDrop instead. Once the track is in your iPhone's Files app, you can simply follow the steps above to set it as a ringtone through GarageBand. Alternatively, you can follow these steps:

• Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC using a cable.
• Open Finder on Mac or the latest version of iTunes on Windows.
• Click on the Library tab in the Music section.
• Select Tone under Devices in the sidebar.

• Drag and drop audio files into the empty tone list.
• This will add the audio file to the list of ringtones available on your iPhone.
• To set it as a ringtone, follow the steps we listed at the beginning of the tutorial.
