How to customise ringtones on you android phone

Ringtone adjustment

When you determine to own an android smart phone, customization was in all probability at the top of the list. Several longtime android devotees swear by the ability to change up each element of how their phone works.

So maybe you wish to extend that capability to ringtones. Sure, there are those sounds that come back on your phone (we’ll show you ways to tweak those, too) however, you can also opt for music from your own sources. Here’s what you need to do.

Assign appropriate permissions

Permission

You will need to go into the permissions. Get there by going to Settings > App Permissions > Storage. Then toggle on the setting for contacts.

This will allow you to pick a ringtone from outside the default list because you’ll be able to access your internal storage. One option is to save audio files to your phone, which you can do with a third-party app or by inserting a file to drive and then saving it to your hardware storage.

Editing the ringtone

Go to Contacts. Tap the one want to edit, and then select the overflow menu (three vertical buttons) and you’ll see an option for where to get the sound from.

Then, you can pick the picture from the drive. You can also opt to use a third-party app like Zedge and Ringtone Maker.

They allow you access their database of ringtones and then to save you to your local storage. 

You can opt for your own sound. If it’s in Google Drive, Dropbox, or another cloud service you’ll need to download it to your device so that you can access it from the contact editing menu. 

By assigning specific ringtones to individuals in your contacts, you’ll know right away who is calling. So that way you can rush to pick it up, or if it’s someone you’d rather not talk to, ignore
