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. Tap the audio part, and tap the arrows on the end
  3. Tap the download button and download
  4. Download GarageBand on the App store
  5. Swipe to audio recorder and tap voice
  6. Hit the upper left button that looks like a brick (you will be passed to the timeline part)
  7. Go to the files app, See the recents tab and you should see your song, then copy it
  8. Go back to Garageband, tap paste, and allow paste
  9. 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)
  10. . Tap the upper left arrow and tap my songs
  11. Rename your ringtone on the files
  12. Tap the song and share, then tap ringtone and export (Ringtone export successful)
  13. Then tap “use sound as” and select “standard ringtone”
  14. Done! Your ringtone is done!


Please feel free to reach out again if this doesn’t work. Thanks and good luck!

Or, you could use Apple’s tools and instructions, which are much easier:



And what does the link in step 2 have anything to do with creating ringtones?
