To add custom ringtones to your iPhone, you can follow these steps:
- Choose a song: First, choose a song that you want to use as your custom ringtone. Make sure the song is in a compatible format, such as .m4r, and that it is not protected by digital rights management (DRM).
- Trim the song: Use a music editing software, such as GarageBand or iTunes, to trim the song to the desired length for your ringtone. The ringtone should be no longer than 30 seconds.
- Convert the song to .m4r: Once you have trimmed the song, save it as an .m4r file. You can do this in iTunes by right-clicking on the song, selecting “Song Info,” clicking on the “Options” tab, and changing the start and stop times to fit your desired ringtone length. Then, right-click on the song again and select “Create AAC version.” Once the AAC version is created, right-click on it and select “Show in Finder” (on Mac) or “Show in Windows Explorer” (on Windows). Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r.
- Add the ringtone to iTunes: Open iTunes and drag the .m4r file into the iTunes window.
- Sync your iPhone: Connect your iPhone to your computer and sync it with iTunes. Make sure that the “Tones” option is selected in the “On My Device” section of the sidebar.
- Select your ringtone: On your iPhone, go to “Settings” > “Sounds & Haptics” > “Ringtone” and select your custom ringtone from the list.
By following these steps, you can add a custom ringtone to your iPhone and set it as your default ringtone or assign it to a specific contact.
