To add custom ringtones to your iPhone that are not bought from the Apple App Store, you can follow these steps:


  1. Connect your iPhone to your computer using a Lightning cable.
  2. Open iTunes on your computer.
  3. Select your iPhone from the list of devices in iTunes.
  4. Click on the "Tones" tab.
  5. Drag and drop the custom ringtone file (in .m4r format) from your computer to the "Tones" section in iTunes.
  6. Click the "Sync" button to transfer the custom ringtone to your iPhone.
  7. On your iPhone, go to "Settings" > "Sounds & Haptics" > "Ringtone."
  8. Find the custom ringtone you just added and select it as your new ringtone.


Note: If your custom ringtone is not in .m4r format, you will need to convert it using a ringtone converter tool before adding it to iTunes. There are many free online tools available that can help you with this. Additionally, you will need to have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer to complete these steps.

Use an App in the App Store:

Open the App Store. Then, type ringtones in the search box. See what pops up.



For reference...

Getting a Purchased Ringtone:

Download it...

  1. Go Here: Use Tones and Ringtones with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Redownload ringtones purchased with your Apple ID
  3. Proceed from there as necessary.
