IOS 10 and contact custom ringtones

Hi to all,

i've just upgraded my Iphone 6s Plus to IOS10 and everything works great, but i've noticed that the custom ringtones, assigned to single contact, don't work anymore.


Anyone else have this issue ?


Thank you.

Let me ask you guys something: From what I've read in order to setup custom ringtones on an iPhone you need to have the sound file in the M4R format and it has to be 30 seconds or less. I have numerous ringtones that I tried to drag into iTunes while my iPhone 6s is plugged in (latest 10.1.x software) and although they appear under "TONES" they aren't solid/bold like the way my songs look in iTunes. When I tried adding a new TONE it said it couldn't transfer it because the file couldn't be played on my iphone.


Can someone give me a brief walk through on how to add custom ringtones? I'm going crazy with this. It's stuff like this that makes me wish I stayed on Android!
