What Do You Require?
First, you need to choose the song you want to use as your ringtone. It could be any track from your music library, a song you downloaded, or even a recording you made. The possibilities are endless, so select the song that resonates with you and will make you smile every time your phone rings.
Make sure it is saved as an mp3 file in the Files app.
To be able to use a custom ringtone on your iPhone for free, you will require a third-party app. Our recommended one for this particular demonstration is the GarageBand app.
Simply download the app from the App Store, follow the on-screen instructions to transfer the ringtone file to your iPhone’s ringtones.
Customize Ringtone with GarageBand
Before you can set the song as your custom ringtone, you need to import the song into your iPhone’s ringtones. To do this:
Launch the GarageBand application on your iPhone. Tap on the + icon in the top-right hand side to start a new project.
Select the Audio Recorder option from the menu that you are presented with.
Tap on the timeline icon, located as the third option from the top-left hand side of the audio recorder menu.
Next, use the loop icon in the top-right hand side to select the song you had saved in the files app. Navigate to the folder in the Files app, in which you had saved your song. Select Files and then select Browse items from the Files app.
Tap on the song to add it to the GarageBand timeline.
What you need to do next is export the song into Ringtones. Tap on the drop-down arrow in the top-left hand side corner of the timeline and select My Songs.
Then, tap and hold on the song you just added and select the Share option.
Select Ringtone from the pop-up menu. Input a name for the ringtone, tap on Done and then tap on Export in the top-right hand side. Give the ringtone some time to be exported.
Once the export of the ringtone is finished, you should receive a prompt that reads, Ringtone Export Successful. Tap on OK.
You can now exit the GarageBand app.
