How To Set Custom Ringtones On iPhone X

Personalizing your contacts with its very own unique ringtone is one of the best selling points of the iPhone X. Having the ability to choose a specific sound for a particular contact on your phone is a neat little technique to know who is calling just by hearing the sound your phone makes when someone is calling it. The following directions will walk you through the process on how you can use your personal music to make a customized ringtone on the iPhone X.

Adding and creating a custom ringtone is pretty straightforward. With Apple’s iOS technology, it will allow you to gain access to a myriad of options in setting customized ringtones for each particular contact, and also you can set personalized sounds for your text messages as well.

How to set custom ringtones on your Apple iPhone X:

1. Open and update iTunes to the newest version
2. Select the song you want to use. (remember that the song will only last 30 seconds)
3. Create the start and stop times on the song. (To do this right-click or ctrl-click the song you want and select Get Info from the resulting drop-down list)
4. Create AAC version. (Right-click or ctrl-click the same song again and select Create AAC Version)
5. Copy the file & delete the old one
6. Change the extension. (Select on the file’s name, and change the extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r.”)
7. Add file to iTunes
8. Sync your iPhone
9. Set the ringtone. (Select the Settings app > Sounds > Ringtone. Then select the song you want to use)

The directions provided above should modify the ringtone for a specific contact on your iPhone X. If done correctly, all other calls will use the standard default ringtone, and any contact you alter will have their very own custom audio playback. Customizing your contacts with a unique ringtone is a nice way to make things more personal on the iPhone X. Also, it will enable you to identify the caller without ever taking a glance at your iPhone X.
