How to set custom ringtone on Iphone

All those Iphone users out there know very well that Iphone doesn't allow the feature to set custom ringtones directly. The in built ringtones are pretty good but sometimes we may want to set our favourite songs or tunes as ringtones.

Today in this post we will teach you how you can set custom ringtones on your Iphone easily.

Please note that this trick works on all your Iphone devices like 4/4S/5/5S/6/6 Plus.

Iphone doesn't allow users to set their custom ringtones from the music library. However it can be done by adding the ringtone from itunes. Iphone uses .m4r version of audio for its ringtone. Hence any .m4r version audio added from itunes can be used as custom ringtones.

So lets see how we can easily convert audios into .m4r version and use them as ringtones on Iphones.

Step 1 : We will be using a Ringtone app downloaded from App Store which allows us to edit audio files and easily convert them into .m4r version audio.

Here I have used an app called Ringtones for Iphone iOS by Mannix Apps which I felt is very user friendly and easy to use app. (Click here to download from App Store).

Once you have downloaded the app just open the app.

Step 2 : You will see iPod library option in the apps which will allow you to select the song from you iPod library i.e the music library.

Step 3 : Select your song from the iPod library.

Step 4 : Once you select the song now you have to edit the song i.e you have to select the portion of the song which you want to set as ringtone.

This is required because you can use ringtones which is of 30 seconds only.

After you select the required part just click on the save button as shown in the image below.

Once you click the save button you will be asked what type of ringtone you want. After you select the tone type press done.

Thats it the tone will be saved in .m4r version.

Step 5: Now connect your Iphone to itunes on your computer. Go to the Apps tab and then scroll down. Under File Sharing Option you will see Ringtone App. Just click on the app to see the ringtone which you created in the app. Just save the ringtone on your computer by clicking on "save to" option as shown in the below image.

Step 6: Now open the folder on your computer where you saved your ringtone and just double click on the ringtone. The ringtone will now be loaded on itunes.

Step 7 : Now go to itunes and click on "Tones" tab and select "Sync Tones".

You will see two options "All tones" and "Selected tones". Click on selected tones to see a list of tones you created. Then select the tones you want to sync and click on "Apply" button below.

The tones will be added to your Iphone.
