How to transfer a ringtone

There is no direct Files to ringtone path, iOS does not let you assign a file from the Files app as a ringtone in Settings. The bridge is GarageBand, which is free from Apple:

1. In GarageBand, start a new song with any instrument, then open the file/loop browser (the loop icon) and choose Browse files from the Files app. Pick your audio file and drag it onto the timeline. Ringtone files have to be 30 seconds or shorter, so trim it first if it is longer.

2. Tap the down arrow at the top and choose My Songs to save it. Then touch and hold the song, tap Share, choose Ringtone, name it and tap Export.

3. It now appears at the top of the list in Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone, ready to select.

If you have a computer instead, the other route is to make the file an .m4r and drag it onto the iPhone in Finder on a Mac (or the Apple Devices app on Windows). But doing it all on the phone, GarageBand is the way.

Hi,

You can transfer custom or purchased ringtones to your iPhone using iTunes, Finder, or directly on the device.

Method 1: Using iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac)

1. Prepare your file: Ensure your custom ringtone is in the .m4r format (under 30 seconds).
2. Connect your iPhone: Plug your iPhone into your computer using a USB cable.
3. Open iTunes or Finder:

• • On Windows, open iTunes, click the device icon, and select Tones under Settings.
  • On Mac, open Finder and select your iPhone in the sidebar.

1. Transfer the file: Drag and drop your .m4r file into the Tones section.
2. Sync: Click Sync to transfer the ringtone to your device.

Method 2: Redownloading Purchased Tones

If you bought ringtones from Apple's store and want them on a new device:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone.
3. Tap Download All Purchased Tones at the top of the list.

Method 3: Making a Custom Ringtone via GarageBand

1. Open GarageBand on your iPhone and create or load a song.
2. Tap and hold the song, tap the Share button, and select Ringtone.
3. Name your ringtone, tap Export, and choose Use sound as... to set it as your Standard Ringtone, Text Tone, or assign it to a contact.
