Hello!


I copied this once from a post in these forums, but forgot to copy the actual link so I can’t credit the author. My bad. Nonetheless, see if it works for you:

How to set a custom ringtone (ANY SOUNDS!) on your Iphone


Hello there! For those wondering, Custom ringtone on Iphones may seem impossible as the way isn’t available directly to you in the settings app. But rejoice! I actually have a workaround, warning: it’s not simple but it may be worth trying.


  1. For the ringtone, make sure it is an MP3, you may take it from youtube via links. 
  2. Go to cobalt.tools on your safari and paste the link
  3. Tap the audio part, and tap the arrows on the end
  4. Tap the download button and download
  5. Download GarageBand on the App store
  6. Swipe to audio recorder and tap voice
  7. Hit the upper left button that looks like a brick (you will be passed to the timeline part)
  8. Go to the files app, See the recents tab and you should see your song, then copy it
  9. Go back to Garageband, tap paste, and allow paste
  10. Cut the part of the audio that is silent and not needed (find a stopping point as a ringtone cannot exceed 30 seconds, you can preview the sound by tapping to play)
  11. . Tap the upper left arrow and tap my songs
  12. Rename your ringtone on the files
  13. Tap the song and share, then tap ringtone and export (Ringtone export successful)
  14. Then tap “use sound as” and select “standard ringtone”
  15. Done! Your ringtone is done!
