How do I use a song I purchased on iTunes as a ringtone on my iPhone SE

I purchased a song on iTunes through the app on my phone. I am trying to use it as my ring tone and cannot figure out how to select in in my settings on my device. I can only select the ringtones listed. How do I use my phone to select the song??

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Hi MomWarrior13,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you purchased a song in iTunes and you want to make it a ringtone. You were able to review Buy music from the iTunes Store. In order to set a ringtone in Settings > Sounds & Haptics, you would need to purchase the tone from the iTunes Store for tones. You can see more details in the link Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


For purchased songs, you may need to use third-party software or a program like GarageBand to create a ringtone as mentioned in Create a ringtone of your Logic Pro or GarageBand for Mac song.



Regards.
