Q: Ringtone doesn't change.

Has anybody come to a point of having set a particular ringtone for a particular contact, when actually, this contact calls, and the ringtone is just the same as the default tone? This, for me started when I updated my iPhone 6s Plus to iOS 10...

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    The following steps may resolve erratic device behaviour assuming it isn't actually a hardware issue. They assume that all of the content you want on the device is in your library ready for restoring. If it isn't see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device first. I would also recommend you copy everything out of the camera roll if you haven't already.

     

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restore as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup you made earlier.

     

    Use an encrypted backup if you want to preserve passwords, wi-fi settings, web history and health data where appropriate.

     

     

    I used the same approach when Siri stopped being able to call my contacts and none of the less drastic resets would fix it.
