Tips
- Can’t find Use as Ringtone? It’s in the share sheet on iOS 26 and later; scroll down the list of actions. On older versions, follow the GarageBand steps in the app’s guide.
- A song won’t open? It’s most likely from Apple Music or another streaming service, and those are copy-protected. Use a song you have as a file instead.
- Wrong part picked? Drag the waveform to slide the selection, or drag the edges in the strip below it. The arrows move the start and end by a tenth of a second.
- Does the tone start or stop too abruptly? Add a fade in or out. One or two seconds usually sounds right.
- Recording needs the microphone. If you said no the first time, turn it on in Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone.
- Sounds longer than 30 minutes are cut to their first 30 minutes.
Questions
How do I make a ringtone from a video?
Tap Video in Ringetone and pick the video from your photos. Ringetone takes the sound out of it and starts on the loudest part. Trim it to 30 seconds or less, save, and tap Use as Ringtone.
Can I use a voice memo as a ringtone?
Yes. In Voice Memos, share the recording to Ringetone, or save it to Files and pick it under Music and files. You can also record straight into Ringetone, up to 5 minutes, and trim the best bit.
Why can’t I use Apple Music songs?
Songs from Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming services are copy-protected (DRM), even when they’re downloaded for offline listening. iOS won’t let any app read their sound, so no ringtone app can use them. Songs you have as a plain file, like MP3, M4A or WAV in Files, work fine.
How long can a ringtone be?
Up to 30 seconds. That’s a limit in iOS, not in Ringetone. Text tones are kept to 5 seconds at most, so they don’t drag on.
How do I give a contact its own ringtone?
Open the contact in Contacts, tap Edit, then Ringtone, and pick your tone: the ones you’ve added are at the top of the list. Text Tone works the same way.
Does Ringetone come with ready-made ringtones?
No. Ringetone is for making tones from your own sounds: songs you have, videos, voice memos and recordings. There’s no catalogue to scroll through and nothing to download.
Which iPhones does it work on?
Any iPhone with iOS 17 or later. The one-tap Use as Ringtone needs iOS 26 or later; on older versions, Ringetone shows you the GarageBand route.
Is it a subscription?
No. Ringetone costs $1.99, once. There’s no subscription, no in-app purchases and no ads.
