How do I save downloaded ringtones to my iPhone?

Answered by Willie Powers

To save downloaded ringtones to your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

1. Download the ringtone: First, you need to download the ringtone you want to save to your iPhone. You can do this by using a ringtone website or app, or you can create your own ringtone using a music editing software.

2. Connect your iPhone to your computer: Use the USB cable that came with your iPhone to connect it to your computer. Make sure your iPhone is unlocked and on the home screen.

3. Open iTunes: Once your iPhone is connected, open iTunes on your computer. If iTunes does not open automatically, you can manually open it.

4. Add the ringtone to iTunes: To add the downloaded ringtone to iTunes, go to “File” in the top menu bar and select “Add File to Library” or “Add Folder to Library” if you have multiple ringtones. Browse for the downloaded ringtone file on your computer and select it. The ringtone will now be added to your iTunes library.

5. Sync your iPhone: After adding the ringtone to iTunes, you need to sync your iPhone to transfer the ringtone to your device. In iTunes, click on the device icon that appears in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window. Then, go to the “Tones” tab in the left sidebar.

6. Enable ringtone syncing: In the “Tones” tab, make sure the “Sync Tones” checkbox is checked. You can choose to sync all tones or selected tones. If you want to sync all tones, select the option “All tones” and skip to the next step. If you want to sync selected tones, choose the option “Selected tones” and manually check the box next to the downloaded ringtone you want to save to your iPhone.

7. Apply changes and sync: After selecting the desired options, click on the “Apply” or “Sync” button in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes window. iTunes will now sync the selected ringtone(s) to your iPhone.

8. Set the ringtone on your iPhone: Once the sync is complete, disconnect your iPhone from your computer. On your iPhone, go to “Settings” and then “Sounds & Haptics” or “Sounds”. Tap on “Ringtone” and you should see the newly added ringtone at the top of the list. Tap on the ringtone to select it as your new default ringtone.

By following these steps, you should be able to save downloaded ringtones to your iPhone and set them as your desired ringtone. Remember to regularly sync your iPhone with iTunes to keep your ringtones up to date.
