I bought a song on iTunes for a ringtone and I have done everything but stand on my head to get it put on my iPhone XR from settings to share to send it copy it. Can someone please help me?

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hey Lela322,


We'd recommend reviewing this article as it provides your options for purchasing and using ringtones on your iPhone: Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you purchased a song rather than a ringtone, there would not be an option available to set that as a ringtone, as ringtones are purchased from a separate section of the iTunes Store:


"Buy ringtones from the iTunes Store

  1. Open the iTunes Store app.
  2. Tap  More.
  3. Tap Tones. 
  4. Find a ringtone that you want to buy, then tap the price.
  5. Choose an option to automatically set the ringtone. Or tap Done to decide later.
  6. You might need to enter your Apple ID password to complete your purchase.

Store availability and features might vary by country or region. Learn what's available in your country or region.

Ringtones on iTunes aren't full songs; they're just snippets."


Thanks!
