You can make that a Ring tone using GarageBand. Do you have GarageBand?


Here you have the process!


My GarageBand opens my iCloud Drive. In your case it may not be so. Nevertheless the process remains the same. This helps because accidentally if you open up the iCloud Drive using GarageBand you can get back to GarageBand.


Music bust be on your iPhone not on iCloud Library.


When you select the song Hold and tap the Song delicately for it to populate it in Audio Recorder.

Watch the GIF below to convert any music to RingTone


This is made on iOS 13.3.1 iPhone SE

You need GarageBand for this to import and export the song

If you follow these steps below it will work for you.

This is complicated but here we goooo

First download your song as a mp3

Then go to GarageBand and then start a new project

Import your song file

Make the projects timeline to atleast 30 bars or depends on the song’s length

Then go to your main page (projects page)

Then 3D/Haptic Touch on the project and click on Share, then click Ringtone

When it asks, give it any random name which will help you find it later.

You can take a shortcut by pressing Use sound as then Ringtone

If you clicked ok then head to Settings, then go to the Sounds and Haptics then Ringtone, then your song will be the first option. Click on it and you are done!!!

HOPE THIS HELPS ;p
