Custom ringtones not listed in text tine

I have an iPhone 8 with 15.4. I created some custom ringtones. They appear as choices for ringtones but not text tones. I've turned the mbp off and back on as. well as the iPhone. I also deleted the custom tones and reloaded them.

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Ringtones Has there been any progress on resolving "Ringtone keeps going back to default?" Bought a couple of custom ringtones for fun and placed them on my iPhone and iPadPro. Every few days the custom ringtones revert back to default. I keep resetting them, but soon after they revert back to default. Why pay for custom ringtones when I can't use them?

Custom ringtones only show under Ringtones section and not on anything else like Text Tone, New Voicemail, etc. Has anyone had issues trying to set custom ringtones for other apps such as your default text tone or new voicemail tone? The correct format files are on my phone and show up fine under the Ringtones section in Sound & Haptics, but anywere else you can't see the other files. They are well below the 30 second limit and in the correct format. I noticed this before the latet iOS update as well and thought nothing of it. I've checked on setting certain tones for contacts and am only able to set the rigntone and not the text tone. At this point I'm trying to get my chirp tone back for text messages and have that for my default tone. I tried changing it to another tone and trying to look for the tone I wanted, but couldn't find it and tapped on another tone which essentially wiped it out. I am now ony able to select the stock/factory tones. In summary, files only show up under the Ringtones section and not anywhere else to set for text, voicemail, etc. Phone: iPhone 13 Pro iOS: 17.0.1

IOS 17 - ringtones not showing Just noticed that ringtones I had loaded from my computer and had been used for text tones, new voicemail, new mail, sent mail, calendar alerts and reminder alerts are no longer showing on the my list of ringtones for selection. The list does show for Ringtone. I read on the internet that IOS17 has caused this problem and that the fix IOS version is not known. If true, then this is disappointing as nowhere in the Release notes has there been any mention of changes to ringtones. Anyone else having the problem or can advise.

Hello SalinaEd,

You'll want to be sure you're following these steps to create the custom ringtones, then share to your iPhone: Create a ringtone of your Logic Pro or GarageBand for Mac song

Let us know how it goes.

Take care.

It worked! I find it interesting that the iTunes method did not.
