Ok I just found a solution! Make sure your music or song is your file app first. Use an online service to trim the music or song to 30 seconds. You can trim the part you want. Convert the music/song file to wav. Find the newly converted sound and use as ringtone! I hope it works for yall
Hello all! I have this issue too and after lots of searching the last thing I want is another app (that might be paid for). I found a solution that WORKS and is free and it’s part of Shortcuts on your iPhone. I have 16 pro max with current iOS but I followed this step by step. Once I setup the shortcut, I went to my photo library, found the video, clicked it for the option to use as ringtone. Then I assigned the ringtone to a contact. Soooooo happy! Took me a few tries to get the shortcut done right but had it done in maybe 5 minutes. Watch the video first, then follow the steps. We have the ability to do this on our own, video shortcuts so a few extra steps but hey it worked!
It’s still freezing up on me when I try to use the Apple Music app to set a song as a ringtone. I have to close the app and restart it to get the app to respond. This is VERY frustrating!

i replied yesterday but my response disappeared. Check this out as I did it in five minutes via shortcuts in iPhone. Works perfect.

Same, my music will continue playing but the app will freeze and can’t do anything.. can close out to other Apps.. but to change song manually I need to restart phone.. This has happened about 10 times with no success to actually setting a ringtone. 🤷♀️
This does not solve the problem at hand. My audio was 15 seconds long and it always freezes. Point is to be able to not have to know how to do everything you suggested we do. It’s supposed to do it for us.

We don’t have your details. If it was 15 second mp3 or m4a, you are on ios26, you did as suggested and it failed, report it https://apple.com/feedback

Your response is there, your problem is that the default sort order of the forum is RANK
If you tap on your avatar, go to preferences, then change your default order to OLDEST then you will be able to follow the forum better.
Crazy? yes, I apologise on behalf of the forum hosts.
No. What app are you using to set your ringtone?
Same here. Using Music app and it just freezes.

Yes me too!
Just the normal Apple Music app!!
same here! i close out and try again just for it to keep freezing 🤦🏻♀️
