Hi RPB_1961-

welcome to the Apple (user=to-user) Community.


Re: Can i use a saved or created mp3 ringtone?


Seems you can import that saved or created .mp3 file into Garageband (for iOS) app, and then "share" it as a ringtone so it can be used on iPhone. If the ringtone is longer than 30 seconds, you can either shorten it to suit, or it will be shortened when exported as a ringtone.


Info on the Grageband App (free from the App Store) : https://apps.apple.com/au/app/garageband/id408709785

(ie: for info on exporting completed ringtones, and for assigning where the ringtone is to be used:),
