How to set a ringtone on iPhone and how to find new ones
If you’re wondering how to set a ringtone on iPhone, you’re in the right place. While many of us choose to keep our phones on silent most of the time, myself included, there are often scenarios when the old-fashioned loud way just can’t be beat.
If you’re expecting an important call, have a busy work line or simply like hearing your phone ring, you’ll of course need to be able to hear your phone ringing at all times, which means you’re best off having it on loud. The thing is, if you haven’t already changed it, your ringtone is probably the dull, boring Reflection tone that the iPhone ships with, and that’s not cool or unique at all. Furthermore, if loads of other people also have that tone set, how can you always be sure it’s your phone that’s going off? You can’t be.
What could be better then, than ditching the stock iPhone ringtone in favor of a cheesy synth cover of Never Gonna Give You Up or Dragostea Din Tei? That’s right: nothing. So, without further ado, here’s how to set a ringtone on iPhone and how to find new ones.
