I lost my ringtones after iPhone iOS 17 update

when updating my phone most recently to the new iOS 17, I have lost all of my personalized tones and ringtones. I have tried going through iTunes and other sources, but nothing ever shows up to be able to personalize any of the ringtones as we used to before this update is this a glitch or is this the new way that Apple is presenting the ringtones?

I lost all my Text tones, I had everything custom when I updated my phone I lost it I’m trying to get them back is there anyway to get them back! This is ridiculous you pay for these expensive phones and because you upgrade thinking that you’re going to get better techniques on the updates and instead you lose stuff! Ridiculous

Loli- That isn’t what people are complaining about. That sets ring/text tones as a default for your phone. This is individual ringtones for your contacts. I’ve always had the same tone for ring and text for a single person, like the car horn. And then the quacking duck for another person. Always set based on the personality of the person. That way, whether they call or text, I know who they are just based on the sound. But now, not only do I have to choose separate ringtones and texts for each person because they no longer crossover (how am I supposed to remember that?), but when I try to DL a tone, even though it gives the option to set as ringtone, all of the DLs go into TEXT only!


yeah, this is a step backward.
