Give your phone a sound of your own: make it yourself, pick one from the Official collection or find one shared by the Community. Community: browse ringtones shared by other creators, search, filter by category and switch between Popular and New. Listening to previews and sharing your own creations need no subscription and no sign-in. A person reviews every upload before it appears, and you can report a ringtone or block a creator at any time. Unpublish or delete your uploads, or delete your community account, in the app's Settings. Adding someone else's ringtone to your library requires Premium. Official collection: more than 100 original ringtones and alert tones in eleven categories, from classic, piano and the new Classic Remixes to calm, cinematic and short alerts. Preview every tone; at least four in each category are included for everyone, and the rest come with Premium. They are part of the app and work offline. Create: import audio from Files, extract sound from a Photos video or record with the microphone. Copy-protected content cannot be edited. Trim precisely on an interactive waveform, scrub, loop the preview, add fades and adjust volume. Save, favorite, rename, share and edit your creations again. Editing and your library stay on your device unless you choose to share to the Community. Export AAC audio or a ringtone file. Follow the illustrated guide using available iOS share options or GarageBand, then check your ringtone in Settings. Installation requires your action; the app cannot set a ringtone automatically. Optional Premium subscriptions unlock the Premium Official tones and adding Community ringtones to your library; ringtones you have added stay in your library. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in App Store settings; you can restore eligible existing purchases.
