Everyone will be jealous of your sick beats! ... Okay, maybe not, but at least you'll enjoy them.

Quick links, step one: get itunes, step two: choose a sound file, step three: convert the mp3 to aac, step four: rename your aac file, step five: add the ringtone file to your phone, step six: choose the ringtone, key takeaways.

  • To add a custom ringtone to your iPhone, convert the audio file to AAC, ensure it is less than 40 seconds long, and rename the file extension to ".m4r"
  • Connect your iPhone to your PC, click the phone icon, open the "Tunes" tab, then drag the audio file into the window
  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then navigate to

The iPhone has been around for a long time, and yet there's still no easy way to add your own custom ringtones — but it is possible. If you don't want to buy ringtones or use the ones that came with your iPhone, you can create your own with iTunes.

This process changed a bit with iTunes 12.7 and subsequent releases. The "Tones" library you could previously sync with your iPhone has been removed, but you can still manually place ringtone files on your phone. Any ringtones you had stored in iTunes are now located at C:\Users\NAME\Music\iTunes\iTunesMediaTones on a Windows PC or ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Tones/ on a Mac.

You almost never have to use iTunes with a modern iPhone , but adding your own custom ringtones still requires it.

On a Windows PC, you'll need to install the latest version of iTunes from Apple. On a Mac, iTunes is already installed and ready to go. This process will work on either a Mac or Windows PC.

Apple no longer offers iTunes on Macs starting with macOS Catalina, so you'll need to use an alternative method to get custom ringtones onto your iPhone on newer versions of macOS . The instructions in this article still work if you're using iTunes on Windows or if you have an older version of macOS that still has iTunes. Additionally, we had some issues with the version of iTunes downloaded from the Microsoft Store, but the version available for download on the Apple website worked perfectly. If you encounter problems, try installing the version downloaded from Apple.

Of course, you'll need a sound clip you want to convert and use as a ringtone for this. You probably already have some idea of what you want to use. if not, go ahead and find something you like. You can use absolutely any sound file you find.

Your ringtone file must be a maximum of 40 seconds long. iTunes will refuse to copy ringtones longer than 40 seconds to your phone.

If the file is long and you just want to use one part of it, you can cut it down to just the part you want using an audio editor. You can use any audio editor you like. We like the free and open-source Audacity audio editor for audio editing, but it's more complex than necessary for simple things like this — so we actually recommend a simple online tool like mp3cut.net . To use this website, click the "Open file" button and browse to the MP3 or other type of sound file you want to edit. It can also extract the sound from video files if you upload those.

Click

Select the part of the audio file you want to use and click the "Save" button.

Select the portion of the audio file you want, then click

Download the edited clip to your PC by clicking "Save" again. This is the file you'll need to import into iTunes.

Click

There's a good chance your sound file is in MP3 format. You'll need to convert it to AAC format to use it as a ringtone. (If your sound file is already in AAC format or has a .m4r extension, you can skip this part.)

First, add the sound file to iTunes and locate it in your library. You can do this by dragging and dropping the file directly into the iTunes library. Look under Library > Songs for the file afterward.

Drag your audio file into itunes.

Select the sound file in iTunes and click File > Convert > Create AAC Version.

Navigate to File > Convert > Create AAC Version.

You'll end up with two copies of the same song file in your iTunes library: The original MP3 version and the new AAC version.

To keep track of which is which, right-click the headings in the library and enable the "Kind" column.

Enable the "Kind" column, which lets you sort files by file type.

You'll see a new "Kind" column telling you which file is which. The "MPEG audio file" is the original MP3, while the "AAC audio file" is your new AAC file. You can right-click the MPEG audio file version (that's the MP3) and remove it from your library if you like.

Both AAC and MPEG versions are present.

You now have your ringtone file as an AAC file. However, you need to change its file extension so iTunes will recognize it as a ringtone file.

First, drag and drop the AAC file from the iTunes library to your Desktop or any other folder on your system.

Drag the AAC version of the file to your desktop, or any other folder you want.

You'll get the ringtone file as an AAC file with the .m4a file extension . If you don't see an extension after the file name, you'll need to enable file extensions . Right-click the file, click "rename" or hit the rename button , and change the file extension to .m4r. For example, if the file is named Song.m4a, change it to Song.m4r.

Change the file extension to .m4r.

Finally, connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac with its included USB-to-Lightning cable — that's the same cable you use to charge your iPhone.

Some cheap cables may support charging but not data transfer. If you plug your iPhone into your PC and it starts to charge but nothing else happens, try a different cable.

Unlock your iPhone and tap the "Trust" option on its screen to confirm you want to trust your computer if you haven't previously connected your phone to iTunes on that PC or Mac. You'll be prompted to enter your PIN.

Tap

In iTunes, click the device icon that appears to the left of "Library" on the navigation bar.

Click the device icon.

Click the "Tones" section under On My Device in the left sidebar.

Go to the tones folder.

Drag and drop the .m4r ringtone file from its folder to the Tones section in iTunes.

If drag and drop doesn't work, use copy and paste instead. Select the ringtone file in File Explorer and press Ctrl+C, or right-click it and select copy. Next, click inside the Tones list inside iTunes and press Ctrl+V to paste it. Additionally, this part seems to break with the Microsoft Store version of iTunes. If you can't drag and drop or copy and paste the file into iTunes, try downloading and installing iTunes from Apple's website instead. Scroll about halfway down Apple's page until you see "Looking for other versions?" and then click "Windows." Click "Download" once the option appears.

Drag and drop (or copy and paste) the ringtone you made into the tones folder.

iTunes will sync the ringtone to your phone and it will immediately appear under Tones here.

The new ringtone should sync immediately.

You can now grab your iPhone and head to Settings > Sounds & Haptics, then tap "Ringtone."

The

Then choose your custom ringtone. Any custom ringtones you've added will appear at the top of the list, and all of the default ringtones will be listed below the small line.

A custom ringtone on an iPhone.

You can also assign that ringtone to a specific contact , so you know who's calling just by the sound.

To remove ringtones, reconnect your phone to iTunes and head back to the On My Device > Tones section. Right-click a tone and select "Delete from Library" to remove it from your device.

If you want to remove the ringtone, right click and click "Delete from Library."

If you're not short on space, there isn't any real need to delete the ringtones you add. You can have as many as you'd like!

What to Know

  • The simplest way to add new ringtones to your iPhone is to buy them from the iTunes Store app, but it isn’t free.
  • You can set up custom ringtones using audio clips from Apple’s Music app on your Mac computer.
  • You can also create clips using downloaded audio files in the Garageband app instead.

This article explains how to set custom ringtones on your iPhone.

How Do I Add a Custom Ringtone?

The simplest and fastest way of using custom ringtones on your iPhone is through official channels. Which is to say you pay for and download the ringtones you want directly to your iPhone from the iTunes Store app. 

You'll need to ensure the iTunes Store app is installed on your iPhone before attempting anything from this section. If it's not, you can get the iTunes Store app in the App Store .

Open the iTunes Store app.

Tap More in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Tap Tones at the top of the menu.

The store includes several categories of potential tones, from music to film to sound effects. You can find what you want by browsing through the hi-lighted categories on the main page.

Or tap Genres at the top of the screen to pull up a list of all available genres (Alternative, Comedy, Dialogue, Sound Effects, etc.) and find the category that suits your needs best.

Each genre has sub-categories like New & Noteworthy , What’s Hot , and More to Explore .

Tap See All in the corner of a sub-category's associated window to explore it further.

Alternately, you can tap Search at the bottom of the screen, type in a specific title or topic, and then scroll through the results until you get to the Ringtones section.

Tap on a tone to view more details.

Tap on the tone’s name (displayed in blue) to listen before purchasing it. Or you can tap on the ringtone’s icon when in the main menu to listen to it instead.

When you’ve found the tone you want, tap the price .

A menu will appear, giving you the option to Set as Default Ringtone , Set as Default Text Tone , or Assign to a Contact . Or if you’d rather download the ringtone and not choose right away, tap Done .

A confirmation box will appear, displaying your total cost. Tap Purchase to confirm or Cancel if you’ve changed your mind.

Open your iPhone’s Settings and tap Sounds & Haptics to assign your ringtones.

Scroll down the menu to SOUNDS AND VIBRATION PATTERNS , then select the sound you want to change (in this case, Ringtone ).

Scroll through your RINGTONES list and tap the one you want to use. The ringtone will play as a preview once selected.

How Do I Put Custom Ringtones on My iPhone for Free?

You can convert songs you already have in iTunes into ringtones, but if you’re using a newer version of macOS (anything from 2019’s Catalina and up), you won’t have access to iTunes at all. Instead, you can use Music .

You must use the Music app on both your Mac to follow these steps, but you do not need to have a subscription to complete this process.

Open the Music app.

If the song or sound you want to use is already in your library, you can find it in one of the categories under Library on the left side of the screen.

If you want to use a file that isn’t loaded into your library yet, click File and then Import . Or press Command O .

Navigate to the file you want to add, select it, then click Open . You can also click on the play button on the file’s icon to listen to a preview to ensure it’s the one you want.

You’ll find the newly added file under Recently Added .

Right-click on the song and select Get Info .

Click on the Options tab in the menu, then enter the times you want the clip to start and stop in their respective boxes. Be aware the total time for the clip cannot exceed 30 seconds.

Click OK to finalize your selection.

From the clip’s info page, click on the clip to select it, then at the top of the screen, click File > Convert > Create ACC Version .

The 30 second clip will appear on the list underneath the original clip.

Once created, you’ll want to follow steps 6 through 9 to restore the original clip to its proper length. Just make sure both the Start and Stop boxes are unchecked, and it should default back to normal when you click OK .

Right-click on the 30-second clip and select Show in Finder to find the actual file on your computer. It should be using a “.m4a” file extension.

Right-click the file and select Rename .

Give the file any name you want, but make sure to change the extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r” to make sure your iPhone will recognize it .

Connect your iPhone to your Mac using the necessary Lightning or USB cable, then in Music, select your iPhone and click Sync Settings .

On the General tab, make sure Manually manage music, movies, and TV shows is on and click Apply to finish.

Go back to the folder where the new clip .m4r file is, then drag and drop it into Music , making sure your iPhone is still connected to your computer, and it’s still selected in the Music app.

The new ringtone may not appear on your iPhone’s page in Music , so go into Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone to check.

The new ringtone should appear right at the top of your list. Tap it to set it as your new ringtone, and you’re done!

How Can I Put Ringtones on My iPhone Without iTunes or Music?

Provided you already have music files you want to use or have some in mind you want to download, it’s also possible to set them up as ringtones on your phone without using iTunes or Music . First, you’ll need to download or transfer the music files to your phone with the Files app to make it work.

You’ll need to download and install both the Garageband app and the Files app from the App Store on your iPhone to follow these steps.

Open Garageband and tap Audio Recorder .

Tap View (the icon looks like a small series of horizontal lines towards the top-left of the screen).

From the new screen, tap Loop (which looks like a small loop, close to the top-right corner of the screen).

From the Files tab, tap Browse items from the Files app .

Select the file you want to use, and you’ll be taken back to the Files tab, where the selected file will now appear.

Tap and hold the song for a second or two, and it will import to Garageband .

Tap and drag along the lined bar at the top of the screen (beneath the Play and Record buttons) to set the starting point for your audio clip. Be aware the final audio clip you use for a ringtone will have to be less than 30 seconds long.

Double-tap the audio clip, tap Split and drag the scissor icon down to cut the clip at the line.

Double-tap the portion of the clip you don’t want to use and select Delete .

Tap the down arrow in the top-left corner of the screen and select My Songs .

Your clip will appear on the new screen, most likely with the title “My Song.”

Tap and hold the clip to pull up a menu, then scroll down and select Share .

Select Ringtone , then Continue .

Tap Export in the top-right corner of the screen, and Garageband will begin exporting the new ringtone for you.

Tap OK to continue, or Use sound as if you want to use the new ringtone for something specific.

If you choose the latter, you can set the new clip as a Standard Ringtone , a Standard Text Tone , or Assign to contact .

Otherwise, you can go into your iPhone’s Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone to set your new ringtone manually. It will appear in the list alphabetically as “My Song” if you didn’t change the name or under whatever name you decided to give it in Garageband .

How to make a custom iPhone ringtone in iOS 15

Malcolm Owen's Avatar

Apple has a wide array of default ringtones included in the iPhone. With a few taps, anyone can change the ringtone from the default to one of many alternatives.

If what is included in iOS doesn't work for you, there's also a sea of ringtones available to buy from the iTunes Store. With a wealth of sounds available, you could easily acquire part of a favorite song to hear whenever your phone starts ringing.

Not everyone wants to spend money on a ringtone, though. Furthermore, not everyone wants to use the same snippet of a popular song if others are doing the same thing.

One option is to create your own ringtone. A unique signal that is personal just to you and your devices.

You can create your own custom ringtones and add them to the Settings menu in iOS.

Here's how you can put your audio masterpiece as your alert sound on your iPhone.

Method 1: Wired Syncing

There are a few steps to creating the ringtone, and the first is to make the actual ringtone itself.

You can do this in a few ways, such as by clipping down a DRM-free MP3 or creating something entirely from scratch. On Mac, your best bet for doing either is via GarageBand.

Make sure to export the file from GarageBand as an AAC, before renaming it to an m4r file.

In GarageBand for macOS, create a new project. You will have to play around with the various settings and instruments to create a track to your liking, but make sure it is reasonably brief, such as 30 seconds or less.

If you have a non-DRM MP3 file that you want to trim, you can import it to GarageBand and cut it down to just the chunk of audio you need. Alternately, you could slap some of Apple's loops together to make a suitable composition.

You will need to drag and drop the ringtone file onto this iPhone screen in Finder to send it from your Mac to the iPhone.

How to turn a GarageBand project into an iPhone ringtone by syncing via Finder.

  • Once you are finished with the composition or edit, click Share , then Export Song to Disk .
  • Give the tone a name and set the save location as appropriate. The desktop would be ideal for one-off transfers.
  • Make sure it is set to AAC , and click Export .
  • Right-click the ringtone file and rename it, changing the suffix from .m4a to .m4r . While functionally similar, the iPhone will recognize the latter as a ringtone file.
  • Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning-to-USB cable.
  • Open Finder and select the iPhone .
  • Drag the ringtone file onto the Finder window.
  • Once it has transferred over, you can access the ringtone on the iPhone.
  • On the iPhone, open Settings and select Sound & Haptics .
  • Tap Ringtone and select your new custom ringtone . It will usually be pushed near the top of the list.

Method 2: Garageband Directly

If you have GarageBand installed on both your Mac and your iPhone, you could use iCloud Drive to work on the ringtone on the Mac, then transfer it to the iPhone for the final export.

You could also transfer the GarageBand project from macOS to iOS and export on your iPhone.

Doing so this way also allows you to find out what the ringtone sounds like through the iPhone's speakers before officially setting it as the ringtone. Further tweaks can be made before the final export.

How to transfer a GarageBand project from Mac to iPhone and save as a ringtone.

  • Create your ringtone in GarageBand on Mac.
  • Once complete, click Share , then Project to GarageBand for iOS
  • Give the project an appropriate name and save it within iCloud Drive by clicking Save.
  • On the iPhone, open GarageBand .
  • Tap the dropdown arrow in the top left, then My Songs .
  • Tap Browse and find the saved project in iCloud Drive. Tap and hold , then select Share .
  • Under Share Song, select Ringtone .
  • Enter the name of the ringtone, then tap Export .
  • Open Settings and select Sound & Haptics .
  • Tap Ringtone and select your new custom ringtone .

Sharing the song in GarageBand on iOS allows you to save as a ringtone directly to the device.

Since this second method relies on using GarageBand on the iPhone to export, you could eliminate using the Mac altogether and create the ringtone entirely on the mobile device.

Once you have finished making the creation, you must go into the project browser, hold down the file to find the Share menu, then follow the rest of the process for creating the actual ringtone.

Tips to add custom ringtones to iPhone 12 - 3 ways

Tired of hearing the same default ringtone and hurrying to check your iPhone? Try to use a custom ringtone, getting yourself out of embarrassment.

face

iPhone comes with default ringtones that are easy to set through the 'Sounds & Haptics' option given in the settings on your device. But if you're using an iPhone 12, you'll find that Apple hasn't provided any new addition of ringtones yet.

Though Apple's Opening ringtone has become a common favorite sound of iPhone users, many prefer to have something different than available default ringtones. Having custom ringtones is one of the best ways to sprinkle some personality into your iPhone. Also, you can enjoy all kinds of music and audio files you love when getting incoming calls.

Unfortunately, up to now, Apple doesn't offer a built-in feature to directly add ringtones to iPhone 12 from the existing music library on your device. In this scenario, we'd like to introduce you to several efficient tools and share the specific steps for helping you add custom ringtones to your iPhone 12 easier than ever.

Show your personality from adding a custom ringtone on your iPhone 12.

Set ringtones on iPhone 12 with iTunes

It should be no surprise that iTunes is a useful software among Apple users. Aside from a media library allowing you to download millions of music tracks, it's also a mobile device management utility that helps you manage the files on your iOS device. With iTunes on your Windows PC (or Mac running macOS 10.14 and the earlier), you can download songs you love, and sync content between your computer and iPhone.

Note: iTunes will only recognize and sync a ringtone file less than 40 seconds with 'm4r' extension. Make sure your audio file won't be longer than 40 seconds, then follow the steps to convert and sync the ringtone to your iPhone 12:

  • Launch iTunes on your computer.
  • Select 'Songs' from the left, and drag and drop your sound track into it.
  • Select the sound track, and click 'File' > 'Convert' > 'Create AAC version' from the option bar at the top. And you'll get a new ringtone file in AAC version. To avoid getting confused, you can rename the AAC ringtone file.
  • Copy and paste the AAC version of ringtone onto your desktop. Click on its name and change the extension to 'm4r'.
  • Connect your iPhone 12 to computer with iTunes open.
  • Click the phone icon on iTunes. Then choose 'Tones' option from the left.
  • Add the m4r ringtone to your iPhone 12. You can simply drag and drop it to the window.

After that, the m4r ringtone is in the 'Ringtone' on your device already. Set it as your new ringtone on iPhone 12 by accessing 'Settings' > 'Sounds & Haptics' > 'Ringtone'. Once done, you can hear your favorite sound every time you get a call.

Add ringtones for iPhone 12 via iPhone Data Transfer

Although iTunes is a common solution known to many Apple users to sync data across devices, sending files like songs or ringtones is quite a complex process with it, which may force you to look for an easier way to add ringtones to your iPhone 12. Therefore, we'll introduce you to a one-stop solution, iPhone Data Transfer , which is a light desktop app allowing you to transfer and manage all kinds of files among your devices.

iPhone Data Transfer efficiently takes care of your content management, including your photos, ringtones, music, videos, messages, contacts, and more.

How to create a custom ringtone for your iPhone

Roman Loyola

The iPhone comes with a number of ringtones you can use, but it’s your iPhone, why not use a custom ringtone for specific contacts? That way, when a certain someone calls you, you can immediately know who it is. For example, you can set a song that’s special to you and your spouse, so when your spouse calls, you’ll hear the song and know immediately who it is.

You can make a custom ringtone right on your iPhone with GarageBand or use your Mac, as long as you know the steps. Here’s how it works.

How make and install ringtones from songs on your Mac

If your music library is on your Mac, you can create ringtones using Apple Music. However, you must have the physical song file—streamed songs cannot be made into ringtones. Also, the files must not be copy-protected.

How to make a ringtone from a song in Apple Music

1. Launch the Music app.

2. Go to your music library and find the song you want to make into a ringtone. Play the song and keep an eye on the elapsed time at the top of the app. Note the time stamp where you want the ringtone to start, then note where you want it to end. (Note: Ringtones cannot be longer than 30 seconds.)

2. Right-click on the song and in the pop-up menu, select Get Info .

3. A window with the details of the song file will appear. Click Options .

4. In Options, there are timecodes for Start and Stop. Check the Start checkbox and enter the starting time from step 2. Then check the Stop box and enter the end time. Click OK .

5. Select the file, and then click on the File menu and select Convert > Create AAC version . (If the only option you see is Create MP3 version , select it.)

6. A new copy of your song file will appear under the original. Right-click on it and select Show in Finder .

7. A Finder window with the song file should appear on your desktop. Look at the file’s extension (the extension appears after the file name after a “.”). If you don’t see the extension, right-click on the file, select Get Info , and then look for the Name & Extension section. Then do one of the following:

  • If the extension is .m4a change it to .m4r .
  • If the extension is .mp3 , the file needs to be converted to .m4a. Open the file in QuickTime Player, which is in your Applications folder. Then in QuickTime Player, click on the File menu and select Export As > Audio Only . Name the file, choose a place to save it, then click Save . Then change the extension of the newly exported file to .m4r .

Now your ringtone file is ready for your iPhone. Below are the steps to install it.

How to load the ringtone from the Mac to your iPhone

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac via USB.

2. Open a Finder window (press Command-N).

3. In the sidebar under Locations, you should find your iPhone. Select it.

4. Find your ringtone file (the one with the .m4r extension), and drag it over to the Finder window that has your iPhone selected.

5. A green “+” icon should appear on your cursor and the file that you are dragging. That means you will be adding it to your iPhone. Drop the file to install it.

And that’s it! To see the ringtone, open the Setting app on your iPhone, then tap Sound & Haptics > Ringtone , and it will appear at the top of the list with other custom ringtones (if you have others). 

How to make a ringtone with GarageBand for iPhone

If you want to make your own unique ringtone, you can use GarageBand on the iPhone. You can start from scratch (we’re not going to show you how to make a song in this tutorial) or you can edit an existing sound file, which we’ll demonstrate here. The ringtone must be no longer than 30 seconds. 

Before you edit in GarageBand, here’s how to prep for the file you want to edit.

  • If you have an existing sound file, copy it to iCloud Drive.
  • If you want to edit a song, you must have the song file, either by buying it online or ripping it from a CD. If you have the actual song file already on your iPhone, you will be able to access it through GarageBand.
  • Copy-protected song files cannot be edited.
  • Streamed Apple Music songs or songs from another streaming service cannot be used as ringtones.

Here’s how to edit a sound file in GarageBand for iPhone and then save it as a ringtone.

1. Launch GarageBand. If you don’t have it, it’s free in the App Store . It’s a big application, so give it some time to download.

2. Tap Tracks at the top of the screen.

3. Swipe through the screen left or right until you find the Audio Recorder section. Tap it.

4. At the top left of the screen tap the Tracks button. It’s the third button from the left.

Garage Band iOS Tracks Loops buttons

5. Tap the Loop Browser on the upper right. It’s the button with a loop icon.

6. A file browser window opens and you can navigate to the file you want to edit.

  • If your file is on iCloud Drive, tap Files and then tap the Browse items from the Files app link at the bottom.
  • If you want to edit a song file, tap Music , then navigate to your song file.

GarageBand iOS song import

Songs can be imported into GarageBand, but they must be on your iPhone and not copy protected

7. Press and hold the file, then drag it from the browser window to the GarageBand workspace.

8. Now it’s time to edit the track down to 30 seconds.

  • If you want a visual cue to help you with the time, tap the Settings button and turn on Time Ruler . This will display the time in seconds at the top of the workspace.
  • Tap the Play button at the top to hear the song. Tap it again or tap the Stop button next to it to stop playing.
  • To trim a song, tap the track and trim bars will appear at the ends. Tap and drag a bar to the stop where you want to trim the song.
  • While we’re not going into greater detail here, you can perform other edits if you want. You can cut sections out, add effects, etc.

8. Once you’ve edited the song, you can save it as a ringtone. Tap the Navigation button in the upper left. It’s the arrowhead pointing downward.

GarageBand iOS trim song

Tap and hold, then drag the bar at the end of the song to trim it.

9. In the pop-up menu, select My Songs . A window called “GarageBand Recents” will open, and your saved GarageBand Project will display as “My Song.”

  • If you want to rename it, tap and hold on the project, and in the pop-up menu, select Rename . Give it a new name.
  • To export the song as a ringtone, tap and hold on the project, then in the pop-up menu, select Share . The “Share Song” window will appear; select Ringtone . You’ll need to give the ringtone a name (the default is the name of the project). The tap Export to save the ringtone.

GarageBand iOS Share Song

10. After the export is done, a window will appear that will ask you how you want to use the ringtone. You can set it now, or do so later in the iPhone’s Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone . To set a ringtone for a specific contact, you need to do that in the contact’s entry in the Contacts app ( [your contact] > Edit > Ringtone ).

How to buy ringtones from Apple

Apple sells ringtones that you can buy directly on your iPhone. Here’s how to shop for ringtones.

1. Launch the iTunes Store app—not the Apple Music app or App Store. If you can’t find the iTunes Store, do a search on your iPhone or tell Siri, “Launch the iTunes Store.” You can also get to the iTunes Store through the Settings app by tapping Sound & Haptics > Ringtone > Tone Store .

2. Tap the More button at the bottom of the screen. It’s the button with three dots.

3. On the next screen, tap Tones .

4. Now you’re in the section with ringtones. Most ringtones are $1.29, while others are $0.99. Tap the icon to hear the tone, and tap the price button to buy it.

When you buy a ringtone, you’ll be given options to set it. The ringtone will be available in the iPhone settings and you can always adjust it to your liking.

A few things to note while creating ringtones on iPhone:

  • Generally, iOS can only use .m4r files as ringtones. GarageBand will automatically convert them into the right format. But if you want to convert your audio file to the m4r format, there are many tools that do the job, such as zamzar.com and audio.online-convert.com .
  • Ringtones should be 30 seconds long.
  • You can convert .m4a to .m4r format by renaming the file extension.
  • The custom ringtone file must be saved in the Files app.

Using GarageBand

The GarageBand app from Apple offers one of the simplest ways to make a custom ringtone for iPhone. You don’t even need iTunes or a computer. All you need is access to the audio file you want to use as a ringtone. It could be a voice recording, a song snippet, or any other sound.

GarageBand does not allow you to import mp3, mp4, or other similar files directly into the app. The trick is to record something in the app, add the song file as looped audio, then remove the recorded sound before exporting the ringtone.

1. Begin by installing the GarageBand app on your iPhone. It’s approximately 1.5GB, so make sure you have sufficient storage space and Internet bandwidth.

2. Open the GarageBand app and tap on the add (+) icon at the top.

3. Select any instrument and tap on it. For this tutorial, we chose “Keyboard.”

4. Tap the red circle to start recording randomly by tapping the keys.

5. Tap the square button to stop recording.

6. Tap on the Edit icon in the top-left corner.

7. Select the Loop icon from the editing options.

8. To insert your audio file, tap the “Files” tab and select “Browse items from the Files app.” Choose the desired song, making it appear in the Files tab.

9. Tap and hold it to drag it to the Tracks view.

Ringtone Android Iphone Select File

Note: GarageBand allows you to import MP3, AIFF, WAV, CAF, Apple Loops, AAC, and MIDI files.

10. Double-tap the audio file you recorded earlier and press the “Delete” button.

Ringtone Android Iphone Delete Audio Garageband

11. To crop your sound file to 30 seconds in length, ensure that the song’s ending section is equal to or less than 30. Drag the song slider by holding its edges to the desired duration. Alternatively, you can split the song and keep only the required portion while removing the rest.

12. Drag the song to the far left; otherwise, the audio file will start with blank audio.

Tip: tap the green Play button to preview the song.

In addition to GarageBand, you can create ringtones using the iTunes app on Windows and Mac. You can also use iTunes to transfer ringtones from a PC to your iPhone. Just drag the ringtone in the supported format into the “Songs” folder of iTunes and sync it with your iPhone.

Note : GarageBand is the best way to set custom ringtones on iPhone. If you want to use a ringtone downloaded from any website or app, add the ringtone in GarageBand and follow the same steps.

Another way to create a custom ringtone on iPhone is to use the Ringtones Maker app .

1. Add the video to the app, then tap “Clip” to trim the audio to the desired length.

2. Tap “Make” and choose “GarageBand” from the list of available apps.

Ringtone Android Iphone Ringtone Maker Iphone

The song will appear in the GarageBand app’s “Recents” section. Hold it and go to “Share → Ringtone → Export.”

You can download ringtones directly from various websites and apps if you don’t want to go through the hassle of creating your own ringtones.

Please exercise caution when downloading ringtones from third-party apps or websites, as these websites pose a risk of malware and security issues. Try to download from trusted sources only.

Here are some websites where you can get ringtones:

  • TheRingtoneSite
  • Ringtones Dump

Download the ringtone (m4r for iPhone) from these sites to your phone’s Internal storage, and use the instructions described above to set it as a ringtone.

How to make ringtones for an iPhone

Jesse Hollington

With texting now more common than calling for many people, and many now using VoiP services instead of cellular calls, you may not hear your ringtone on the best iPhones of today as much as you would on the ones of yesteryear. Still, when your phone does ring, it's nice to hear something a bit more unique than the default ringtone that everybody else is using. For one thing, it helps you know that it's your iPhone that's actually receiving a call, but it's also a nice way to express your own style.

How to make your ringtone a song from your computer

How to create a custom ringtone using garageband, how to buy an iphone ringtone from the itunes store, how to use your new ringtone on the iphone, how to remove a custom ringtone from your iphone, what you need.

macOS Music app or iTunes

You can create original, custom ringtones to add a bit of personal flair to your iPhone experience. The sky's the limit when it comes to your options — if you can hear it, you can make a ringtone out of it. You can use any non-copy-protected song in your music library, create your own custom jams in GarageBand, or check out some ready-made collections of ringtones for inspiration .

The only rule is that ringtones can't be longer than 30 seconds, but that shouldn't be a problem as your iPhone won't likely ring for that long anyway — and it's probably not a good sign if you're more interested in listening to your ringtone finish than actually talking to the person who is calling you.

You can create a ringtone from just about any song in your iTunes or Music library — as long as you've purchased the song, that is. You won't be able to create ringtones from Apple Music tracks since those are copy-protected. Ditto for other streaming apps like Spotify

Further, if you have tracks in your library that were purchased from the iTunes Store prior to 2009, these may also be copy-protected unless you updated them to the new "iTunes Plus" format.

If you're using Windows or an older version of macOS, then iTunes will be the go-to app for this. With the 2019 release of macOS Catalina , Apple replaced iTunes with a new app simply called "Music." Don't let the new name fool you, though; the macOS Music app is basically still iTunes under the hood. Apple simply trimmed out all the non-music features and put those into separate apps.

This means that the steps for creating a ringtone are essentially the same whether the app you're using is named "iTunes" or "Music," although some of the menu options differ slightly between the Windows and Mac apps.

Step 1: Launch Music or iTunes and choose a song from your collection.

iPhone ringtones play continuously in 30-second (or less) loops, so after choosing your song, note the start and stop times for the portion you want, up to a maximum of 30 seconds.

Step 2: If a cloud icon appears beside your chosen song, right-click (or control-click) and choose Download from the context menu to download it from the cloud to your Mac or PC.

  • How to block a number on Android phones and iPhones

Step 3: Once the download completes (if applicable), right-click or control-click the song you want and select Song Info (Windows) or Get Info (Mac) from the resulting drop-down list.

Step 4: Select the Options tab at the top of the window.

Step 5: Enter the start and stop times you noted in step 1 into the "Start" and "Stop" fields. The range between these can be as short as one second, but should not exceed 30 seconds.

Step 6: Choose the OK button.

Step 7: Next, you'll need to create a copy of your chosen music file in the AAC format. Since you set the start and stop times, the copy will include only that selected portion.

You'll first need to ensure that the default format is set to AAC. Here's how:

  • On Windows, select Edit > Preferences ; on Mac, select iTunes > Preferences or Music > Settings depending on which version of the app you're using.
  • From the Settings dialog, choose Files .
  • Select Import Settings
  • From the Import Using dropdown, select AAC Encoder .
  • Choose OK to close the Import Settings.
  • Choose OK again to close the iTunes/Music settings.

Step 8: With your chosen track highlighted, select File > Convert > Convert to AAC Version (Windows) or File > Convert > Create AAC Version (Mac). If this says something like "MP3 Version" instead of "AAC Version," double-check your settings in the previous step to ensure the default format is set to AAC.

Step 9: The conversion should take a few seconds, after which a new trimmed copy of the song should appear in your library below the original.

Step 10: Go back into the original song’s info page (from steps 3 through 5) and revert the start and stop times to their original settings so that the full track will play properly the next time you listen to it.

Step 11: Copy the new, shorter version of your song from iTunes or Music to your Desktop or another location by dragging it from the iTunes/Music window and dropping it into the appropriate spot in Finder or Windows Explorer.

Step 12: Once you've successfully copied the new track to another location, you can delete it from your music library by right-clicking or control-clicking the track and selecting Delete from Library from the resulting drop-down menu. Confirm you want to do this by Delete File or Move to Trash depending on the platform and version of iTunes or Music you're using.

Step 13: Using Finder or Windows Explorer, rename the music file you copied in step 11 to change it to an .m4r extension.

AAC files created in iTunes or Music use the file extension .m4a by default, however, the file must have an m4r extension to be recognized as a ringtone by your iPhone.

Step 14: Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB or USB-C to Lightning cable. Your iPhone should appear in the left-hand sidebar of iTunes or Music.

Step 15: Drag your ringtone file from Finder or Windows Explorer onto your iPhone in the sidebar in iTunes or Music. This will copy the ringtone to your iPhone.

Note that in some earlier versions of iTunes you may need to expand your iPhone first in the sidebar by clicking on the triangle to the left of it and then drag your ringtone directly into the Tones section.

If you'd rather create your ringtone directly on your iPhone, Apple's free GarageBand for iOS is the best way to go. Use it to trim your favorite part of a song and set it as your default ringtone. Before you get started, be sure to install the mobile GarageBand app from the App Store on an iPhone running iOS 11 or later.

Launch the GarageBand app and find the song you want to use. It's best to have the music track on your iPhone already. If you haven't already shortened it to 30 seconds, GarageBand will do that automatically, though it may not be the 30 seconds you want.

Step 1: Download and launch GarageBand on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select the + in the top right corner to create a new song.

Step 3: Choose an available instrument from the Tracks tab to record a live performance or a category of loops from the Live Loops tab to use a predefined loop.

Step 4: Select the red Record button to begin recording using your chosen digital instrument or loops.

Step 5: When finished recording, tap the Record button again to stop.

Ensure your final track is no longer than 30 seconds. If it's longer you can delete and re-record, or trim it down using the tools in GarageBand.

Step 6: Use the green Play button to preview your track, or select the down arrow in the top left corner to return to your list of songs.

Step 7: Select Rename to give your track a more meaningful name. This is what will be used to identify it in your list of ringtones.

Step 8: Long-press on your renamed song to bring up the pop-up menu again.

Step 9: Select Share .

Step 10: Choose Ringtone .

Step 11: Enter a name for your ringtone if you'd like to use something different from the song name.

Step 12: Select Export in the top-right corner.

Step 13: Once the export has completed, you can select Use sound as… from the pop-up menu that appears to immediately set the new track as the standard ringtone, or standard text message tone, or assign it to a specific contact.

Alternatively, choose OK if you'd simply like to leave it in your ringtone library for later use.

The simplest way to get a new ringtone for your iPhone is to buy one from the iTunes Store directly on your device. That will set you back between $1 and $1.29 per track, though, so it's hardly the cheapest option. Nevertheless, if there's a song in Apple's collection that you're just dying to have as a ringtone, it's a really easy one-click solution that just works.

Step 1: Open the iTunes Store app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select the More button in the bottom-right corner.

Step 3: Select Tones .

Step 4: Select a tone from the list or use the Genres , Featured , or Charts buttons to browse for more tones.

Step 5: From the details screen, select the name of the tone to listen to a preview or tap the price button to purchase the ringtone.

Once purchased and downloaded, the new ringtone or alert tone will appear in the appropriate section alongside the built-in tones, which can be found in the Settings app under Sounds & Haptics .

Now it's time to use your new ringtone. Note that in addition to using your new ringtone for calls, you can also set it as an alert tone for new voicemails, incoming text messages, emails, calendar alerts, and reminder alerts. You can even use a custom ringtone to replace the "swoosh" sound you hear when sending messages in Apple Mail.

Note that you can only use custom ringtones for Apple's own built-in apps like Messages, Mail, Calendar, and Reminders. Third-party apps like Facebook , Twitter, and Gmail all have their own sounds that can't be overridden in your iPhone's system-wide settings. Some third-party developers may let you use your own alert sounds, but that's entirely up to them.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Select Sounds & Haptics . (this may simply say Sounds in older versions of iOS).

Step 3: Select Ringtone under "Sounds and Haptic Patterns" to choose your ringtone for incoming calls.

Alternatively, you can choose another option, such as Text Tone or New Voicemail , to change the alert tone for those items.

Step 4: If you've selected ringtones, your list of custom tones will be grouped alphabetically at the top of the screen, followed by Apple's built-in ringtones and alert tones. When viewing tones for alerts, such as Text Tone and New Voicemail, this will be reversed, with built-in alert tones shown at the top, followed by your custom tones, and then Apple's ringtones at the bottom.

Step 5: Select the custom ringtone you'd like to use. A preview of the tone will play, and a checkmark should appear beside it to indicate it's selected.

Step 6: Choose Sounds & Haptics in the top-left corner to return to the previous screen, or swipe up or press your home button to return to the home screen if you're finished choosing custom tones.

Ringtones are very small, so you don't need to worry about them taking up too much space on your iPhone. However, if you've installed a custom ringtone you no longer want cluttering up your ringtone list, you can remove it from there directly on your iPhone. Here's how.

Step 2: Select Sounds & Haptics .

Step 3: Select Ringtone .

Step 4: Locate the custom ringtone you'd like to remove, and swipe from right to left to reveal the Delete button. Select Delete or continue swiping to erase the ringtone from your iPhone.

Note that there's no confirmation prompt here, so make sure the ringtone you're removing is the right one. If you remove a ringtone that you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can recover it by using the Download All Purchased Tones option at the top of the screen. Ringtones that you created yourself will need to be restored from their original files via iTunes, Music, or GarageBand.

In the past few years, Samsung has become one of the leading manufacturers of foldable devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. Though it's not the only brand making foldable devices, it offers the most mainstream and available options, especially in the U.S. That leads to the question of whether Apple will follow suit with a foldable iPhone — or even an iPad.

There have been long-standing rumors that Apple could be working on such a device, including a foldable iPhone, which we'll call "iPhone Flip" for now. Apple's a secretive company, so there may very well be at least some research and development taking place on such a device. But, of course, this continues to just be all speculation for now. From the latest news, rumors, and reports, here's everything we know so far about Apple's folding iPhone. iPhone Flip: design and display

While we adore books, we have to admit that e-books have some serious advantages over traditional print. You can cram thousands of e-books into a single e-book reader, for one thing, making e-books perfect for long holidays, commutes, or just casually carrying around. Doing the same with traditional books would require wheeling around a suitcase or having arms larger than Hercules.

However, physical books are still better in some ways. Want to lend a great book to someone? Throwing a paperback book at them is far more practical than handing them your Kindle and telling them to give it back when they're done.

AirPods , for all of their amazing sound and features, can get quite dirty. Lint, smudges, sweat, and wax tend to build up over time in and on your AirPods, making it a good idea to clean them regularly.

However, before you break out the soap and water, take heed: these delicate devices need to be cleaned in a particular way to avoid damage to them. The proper method for cleaning AirPods isn’t the same as other earbuds or headphones. In this article, we'll walk you through the proper cleaning techniques for AirPods (especially the eartips), and AirPods Max (in particular, the cushions and headband), so you can have your cans looking and sounding like new.

How to make your own iPhone ringtones

It’s easy to make your own iPhone ringtone from any audio file

iPhone 12 Pro

We’ve all experienced the ringtone problem: no matter how many tones are in your iPhone , none of them are quite right. 

Maybe you’d prefer the theme tune for your favorite fictional detective, or some dialogue from your favorite show. Or maybe there’s a particular piece of music you’d rather hear. No problem. If you’ve got an audio file, it’s really easy to make it into an iPhone ringtone. All you need is the Music app (iTunes on older Macs and on Windows PCs).

Before we start, you’ll need to ensure that the audio file you’re going to use is (a) on your computer and (b) isn’t an Apple Music track – as in, a song you’re streaming from Apple Music as part of your subscription. Apple won’t let you convert those.

In this tutorial we’ll show you how to create a ringtone on a Mac using macOS Mojave. The process is almost identical for Windows and older Macs but instead of the Music app you’d use iTunes.

One word of warning: choose your ringtone carefully. If it’s a song you really, really love, you might not love it so much if you hear it every time the boss calls you or whenever you get a robocall. We’ve learnt that particular lesson the hard way, and some absolute bangers are dead to us now.

  • iPhone ringtones: how to change your iPhone ringtone

1. Find your song

First up you need to choose your song in the Music app. You can’t make a ringtone from a streaming track or one that’s stored in the cloud. Our song here is stored in our iCloud Music Library, so before we proceed we’ll need to download it by clicking on the little downwards arrow over at the right.

2. Pick your format

Rather confusingly, if we want to export in the right format we need to change the import settings. In the menu bar click Music > Preferences > Files and then click on the Import Settings button. Click on the Import Using drop-down and choose the AAC Encoder option.

3. Trim the time

Return to your song in the Music app and click on the three dots at the very right of the track. Choose Get Info > Options and you should see the screen shown here. We need to trim the song to 30 seconds to make it appropriate for a ringtone. 

In this example we want to start from the beginning so we’ll set the start time at 0:00 and the finish at 0:30; you can start anywhere in the song but it can be quite tricky to get the timing just-so. 

No matter what bit of the song you choose, make sure the tick boxes are checked and that you use colons to separate the minutes and seconds. Click on OK when you’re done.

4. Export the audio

Make sure your song is still selected and then click on File > Convert > Create AAC Version. If that option isn’t available it could be because you’re trying to convert an Apple Music track rather than something you’ve downloaded. The conversion process is almost instant.

5. Double up

When you search for your song or look at its enclosing album you should now see two versions of it, and if you look over at the right hand side you’ll see that one of them is 30 seconds long. This is the audio you’ll be using as your ringtone. Right-click on it and select Show In Finder.

6. Change the extension

If you don’t change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r, your iPhone won’t recognize the audio as a ringtone. So let’s do that now. It doesn’t affect the audio in any other way: it’s still an AAC audio file.

7. Confirm your choice

macOS X will now ask if you’re sure about this. And you are, so let’s click on “Use .m4r” and continue. Leave this Finder window open: we’ll need it in a moment.

8. Plug in your phone

Connect your iPhone to your Mac with a cable. If you haven’t done this recently you may need to tell your Mac and iPhone to trust one another. You’ll do that by entering your iPhone’s PIN on your phone screen and clicking Trust on your Mac.

9. Wait a moment

It’ll take a little while, but eventually you should see this when you click on the name of your phone in the sidebar (it’s under Locations along with any removable drives). All you need to do now is drag the newly renamed .m4r file over the Finder window. Its icon will turn into a plus sign and after a brief pause the bar at the bottom of the window will go back to normal.

10. Find the ringtone

Unlock your iPhone and navigate to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone. This contains a few links including one of the Tone Store, but the bit we’re interested in is under the Ringtones heading. The first section is our own user-created ringtones; the second, all the standard ringtones that came with your iPhone.

11. Pick your tone

All you need to do now is tap on your ringtone – here, Bizarre Love Triangle – and your iPhone will play it. Congratulations: you’ve created and installed your own ringtone.

If you’re tired of the default melody your iPhone plays when someone’s calling, you can select a new ringtone from a few different built-in options. If you don't want the built-in options, you can download ringtones from the iTunes Store or create a custom ringtone in iTunes. Here's how to set ringtones on an iPhone.

Things You Should Know

  • To set ringtones on an iPhone, go to "Settings" → "Sounds & Haptics" → "Ringtone" → select a new ringtone.
  • You can purchase ringtones directly from the iTunes store or create one in iTunes or the Music app.
  • You can also set individual ringtones for each contact you have.

Step 1 Tap the Settings icon on the home screen.

  • You’ll see several different sound events you can customize.

Step 3 Tap the current ringtone.

  • If you want to change the tone you hear when you receive a text, tap Text Tone instead.

Step 4 Select a ringtone from the list of built-in options.

  • The new ringtone will be set immediately.

Step 1 Know your options.

  • If you don't have the iTunes Store app, download it from the App Store .

Step 3 View the ringtones available for download.

  • Tap Set as Default Ringtone to make your new ringtone the universal sound for all incoming phone calls.
  • Tap Assign to a Contact to choose a person in your contacts list who you'd like to be associated with this ringtone. This means that every time that person calls you, you’ll hear this new ringtone. All other calls will still use the current ringtone.
  • Tap Done to simply download it without changing your ringtone. If you choose this option and later want to change your ringtone to this file, open the Settings menu and select Sounds then Ringtone . You’ll now see this ringtone file as an option. Tap it to set it as your ringtone.

Step 1 Open iTunes on...

  • If using a Mac, open the Music app.

Step 2 Select the track you want to turn into a ringtone.

  • Take note of when your 30-second segment begins and ends.
  • The exact time is right beneath the song information at the top of the screen. If the part you like begins when the timer is at 1:40, that’s the number you’ll write down.
  • Keeping the 30-second limitation in mind, decide where you want to stop. Write down the stop point timer number. If you want to end the song at 2 minutes and 5 seconds in, write 2:05.

Step 3 View the song’s detailed information.

  • For example, “UnclePhranc.m4r” if the name of your song is “Uncle Phranc.”
  • The extension .m4r will convert your file to a ringtone.

Step 9 Add the song back to the iTunes library.

  • If you’re using iTunes 11 or earlier, click the Tones button on the top right of iTunes and make sure Sync Tones and All Tones are selected. Click Apply .
  • On Mac, open the Finder and select the General tab. Drag and drop or copy and paste the .m4r from the Finder window into the General tab.

Step 10 Sync your ringtone.

  • If you’re using iTunes 11 or earlier, click the Tones button on the top right of iTunes and make sure Sync Tones and All Tones are selected. Select Apply and the sync will begin.
  • If you’re using iTunes 12 or newer, click the Tones button at the top left of iTunes and then drag your ringtone over to your iPhone to sync.

Step 11 Set the ringtone.

  • You can also set a custom vibration pattern for your contacts. On the Ringtone page, tap Vibration and then choose a Standard one or make your own by tapping Create New Vibration near the bottom of the screen.

Step 5 Tap Done.

Featured Articles

If you're tired of the default ringtones that come with your iPhone, you can change them by adding some new tones to your device from a computer or another iPhone with a data transfer tool or creating some new ringtones with iTunes, a ringtone maker. Whichever way you prefer, you can follow the paragraphs below to add ringtones to iPhone 12/11/XR/XS/X/8/7/6.

If you are using an Android device, you can refer to this blog to trim an audio file and set it as a ringtone.

Method 1. How to Add Ringtones to iPhone 12 from Computer

If you have downloaded the ringtones you like on your computer, you can transfer these audio files to your iPhone 12 and then set the song you like as your custom ringtone.

To put ringtones to your iPhone 12, you can use the iPhone data transfer software - EaseUS MobiMover. With the help of it, you will be able to:

  • Transfer files from PC to iPhone/iPad/iPod or vice versa
  • Transfer data from one iPhone/iPad/iPod to another
  • Access and manage iDevice content from a computer or Mac
  • Transfer files between iPhone and Mac

Other than ringtones, other types of content, like photos, videos, music, contacts, books, and more, are also supported. Whether you want to add ringtones to the iPhone or put music on iPhone , you can apply this tool.

What's more, EaseUS MobiMover is also a free video & audio downloader which allows you to download online video and audio files to your computer or iPhone/iPad at no cost.

To add ringtones to iPhone 12:

Step 1.  Connect your iPhone to your computer and run EaseUS MobiMover > Tap "Trust" on your phone and click "Allow" to enable this program to access your iPhone > Click "Audio" from the interface > Select "Ringtones" to continue.

Method 2. How to Add Ringtones to iPhone with a Ringtone Maker

Method 1 is available for users who have created a ringtone and need to add it to their devices. But if you haven't made a ringtone, you may need to create one with iTunes first. The steps of using iTunes to create a ringtone are long and complex, which might not what you want. Given that, we suggest you use this easy-to-use  iPhone ringtone maker - EaseUS Ringtone Editor instead.

EaseUS Ringtone Editor is an easy-to-use program that allows you to make a song your ringtone, convert a YouTube video to a ringtone and download SoundCloud music as a ringtone. While making a ringtone, you can customize your tone by adding special effects, integrate recordings into ringtones, or fade in/out. 

Don't hesitate to give it a try.

Method 3. How to Add Ringtones to iPhone 12 from iTunes

iTunes could help you to make a song a ringtone and then sync the ringtones to your iPhone. The only flaw of using iTunes is that it is relatively complex compared with other methods available because you need to make a ringtone by yourself.

If you prefer to make a custom ringtone on your own, follow the steps below to learn how to do it.

To add ringtones to your iPhone 12 from iTunes:

Step 1. Connect your iOS device to the computer and wait for iTunes to launch automatically.

Step 2. If the song you want to set as the ringtones is not in your iTunes library, go to "File" > "Add File to Library" to add the song to your iTunes library.

Step 3. Then click the "Device" button, go to "Summary," and check the option "Manually manage music and videos."

Step 4. Click the "Back" button and go to "Songs" > "Library." 

Step 5. Right-click the target song and choose "Song Info." In the new window, tap the "Options" tab.

Step 6. Check the "Start" and "Stop" options and set the starting/stopping point of the ringtone (less than 30 seconds).

Step 7. Go back to iTunes library, select the original song, then tap "File" > "Convert" > "Create AAC Version". Afterward, you will see the reduced version of the song.

Step 8. Right-click the shortened version and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" (or Show in Finder on Mac). 

Step 9. Copy and paste the song to your desktop and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r. Confirm your changes.

Step 10. Now go back to the iTunes Library and delete the shortened version of the song: right-click the song, choose "Delete from Library" > "Delete Song" > "Move to Recycle Bin".

Step 11. Tap the "Tones" tab, drag and drop the ringtone from desktop to iTunes. Now the custom ringtone is added to your iPhone 12.

Method 4. How to Download Free Ringtones to iPhone 12

If you don't have ringtones available on your device, you will need to download ringtones from the Internet to your iPhone. Some of the sites provide a download button for you to save the ringtones to your computer. For example:

  • https://cellbeat.com/
  • https://www.melofania.club/
  • https://www.mobile9.com/ (Registration Required)

Afterward, you can transfer ringtones from the computer to your iPhone 12 and then set them as ringtones.

If there is no download button available on the website, a free video & audio downloader will help you download the online audio files to your computer via the URL.

No matter what you are going to do, transferring downloaded ringtones to your iPhone or downloading online ringtones to your device, the iPhone transfer software introduced in method 1, EaseUS MobiMover, will help.

Method 5. How to Add Ringtones to iPhone 12 from Another iPhone

All the three ways above are useful to get ringtones to your iPhone from a computer. Actually, you can also add ringtones to your iPhone 12 from your previous iOS device.

As mentioned, EaseUS MobiMover enables you to transfer files between two iDevices. That means you can apply this tool to put ringtones on your iPhone 12 from your other iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

To put ringtones to iPhone 12 from another iPhone:

Step 1.  Connect your two iOS devices to the computer and run EaseUS MobiMover on it.

Allow EaseUS MobiMover to access your iPhone or iPad by tapping "Trust" on the screen and clicking "Allow" on the program window.

Choose "Phone to Phone" mode, and set the transfer direction, such as Transfer from "iPhone" to "EaseUS", and click "Next" to continue.

To add custom ringtones to your iPhone that are not bought from the Apple App Store, you can follow these steps:

  • Connect your iPhone to your computer using a Lightning cable.
  • Open iTunes on your computer.
  • Select your iPhone from the list of devices in iTunes.
  • Click on the "Tones" tab.
  • Drag and drop the custom ringtone file (in .m4r format) from your computer to the "Tones" section in iTunes.
  • Click the "Sync" button to transfer the custom ringtone to your iPhone.
  • On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Sounds & Haptics" > "Ringtone."
  • Find the custom ringtone you just added and select it as your new ringtone.

Note: If your custom ringtone is not in .m4r format, you will need to convert it using a ringtone converter tool before adding it to iTunes. There are many free online tools available that can help you with this. Additionally, you will need to have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer to complete these steps.

Make sure to check back periodically for more iOS 17 tips and how to use new features as Apple releases more updates.

Apple's announced its 'Wonderlust\" event, scheduled to take place at its headquarters in Cupertino on Tuesday, September 12 (exactly a week away). 

At the event, Apple is expected to announce several new products, including the iPhone 15 series -- but they'll also talk about iOS 17, and when it's expected to release to the general public. 

But if you want to take a closer look at some of the lesser-known features and settings on iOS 17 right now, here's what you can expect.

iOS 17 has been out for over three months now, but there's always something new to discover, whether you've just received an iPhone for Christmas or been a longtime iOS user.

If you want to take a closer look at some of the lesser-known features and settings on iOS 17 right now, here's what to expect.

The verification codes you receive when attempting to sign in to your various accounts can quickly clutter up your text messages and email. Sure, you can always manually delete each code, but that takes too much time. iOS 17 now has a setting that automatically deletes your verification codes after you've entered them.

It took a while for this feature to pop up, but Apple now lets you download and use offline maps on the Maps application on iOS 17. Now you can more easily navigate roads, highways and tunnels -- even if you don't have internet.

  • Pilih ikon (+) di pojok kanan atas untuk membuat lagu baru
  • Selanjutnya pilih instrumen yang tersedia dari tab Tracks untuk merekam pertunjukan live atau kategori loop dari tab Live Loops untuk menggunakan loop yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya.

  • Setelah selesai merekam, ketuk lagi tombol "Record" untuk berhenti
  • Pastikan trek terakhir Anda tidak lebih dari 30 detik. Jika lebih panjang, Anda dapat menghapus dan merekam ulang, atau memangkasnya menggunakan alat di GarageBand
  • Selanjutnya gunakan tombol “Putar” berwarna hijau untuk melihat pratinjau lagu Anda, atau pilih panah bawah di sudut kiri atas untuk kembali ke daftar lagu Anda
  • Pilih “Ganti Nama” untuk memberi nama yang lebih bermakna pada trek Anda. Inilah yang akan digunakan untuk mengidentifikasinya di daftar nada dering Anda
