How to Set a Ringtone on Android

Want to personalize your Android smartphone with your favorite ringtone? It's easier than you think! In this guide, we'll show you how to set a ringtone on Android using different methods: through your phone settings, using the "Music" app, and with third-party apps. Follow these instructions, and you'll easily replace the default ringtone with a melody of your choice.

Method 1: Setting a Ringtone via Phone Settings

Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
Go to "Sound & Vibration" or "Sounds" (the section name may vary depending on your phone model).
Select the "Ringtone" or "Phone Ringtone" option.
Choose a melody from the list or tap "Add" to upload your own file.
Locate the file in your phone storage and confirm your selection.

That's it! Your new ringtone is now set and will be used for all incoming calls.

Method 2: Setting a Ringtone via the "Music" App

Many Android devices come with a built-in "Music" app that allows you to set a song as a ringtone directly from the app.

Open the "Music" app and find the song you want to use.
Tap the three dots next to the track to open the menu.
Select "Set as Ringtone".
Confirm the action, and the song will be set as your ringtone.

Method 3: Using Third-Party Apps to Set a Ringtone

If you need more features than the standard options provide, try third-party apps like Zedge or Ringtone Maker. These apps make it easy to edit and set any audio file as a ringtone.

Download and install the app from the Google Play Store.
Open the app and choose the audio file you want to set as your ringtone.
If needed, trim the file to select the desired part of the song.
Tap "Set as Ringtone" and confirm the action.

Tips for Choosing a Ringtone

Choose melodies with loud and clear sound so you don’t miss a call in noisy environments.
Avoid ringtones that are too long or slow, as they might get tiresome before you answer the call.
Consider setting unique ringtones for different contacts to easily recognize who’s calling.
