Custom Ringtones on iPhone

I've tried dragging and dropping to the general tab. It doesn't work anymore. I don't know if it's Sequoia or the iPhone 16 or the iOS. What ever the cause. I drag and drop a perfectly fine custom ringtone that has worked on three incarnations of the iPhone before. But, I drag, I get the green + sign. I drop... and nothing.


How do i do this now?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1

Do you have GarageBand?


  1. In the My Songs browser, tap Select, then tap the song you want to export.
  2. Tap Share , then tap Ringtone.
  3. The Export Ringtone panel opens, showing the name of the ringtone. By default, the ringtone uses the same name as the song.
  4. The maximum length for exported ringtones is 30 seconds. If the exported ringtone exceeds the maximum length, a dialogue appears. Tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically, or tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it.
  5. To rename the ringtone, tap the name and type a new name.
  6. Tap Export.
  7. In the Ringtone Export Successful panel, do one of the following:
    • Return to the My Songs browser: Tap OK.
  • Choose a use for the ringtone: Tap “Use sound as”, then do one of the following:
      • Use the ringtone as your standard ringtone, replacing the existing ringtone: Tap Standard Ringtone.
      • Use the ringtone as your standard text tone, replacing the existing text tone: Tap Standard Text Tone.
  • See a list of your contacts: Tap “Assign to contact”, then tap the contact you want to use the ringtone with.
  • Return to the My Songs browser without assigning the ringtone: Tap Done.
