Are you tired of hearing the same old ringtone every time your iPhone rings? Did you know that you can set custom ringtones for individual contacts on your iPhone? This feature allows you to personalize your phone and differentiate between important calls and texts and less urgent ones. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting custom ringtones for your contacts on your iPhone.
Choosing a Ringtone
Before we get started, let’s talk about the different types of ringtones that you can use. You can choose from the built-in ringtones that come with your iPhone, download ringtones from iTunes, or even create your own ringtone.
Built-in Ringtones
Your iPhone comes with a variety of built-in ringtones that you can choose from. To access them, go to “Settings,” then “Sounds & Haptics,” and then “Ringtone.” From there, you can scroll through the list of ringtones and choose the one that you like the most.
Downloading Ringtones from iTunes
If you can’t find a ringtone that you like from the built-in options, you can also download ringtones from iTunes. Simply open the iTunes Store app on your iPhone, search for “ringtones,” and browse through the available options. Once you find a ringtone that you like, tap the “Buy” button to purchase it. Once you’ve purchased the ringtone, it will be added to your ringtone library, and you can set it as your default ringtone or assign it to a specific contact.
Adding a Custom Ringtone to a Contact
Now that you have chosen your preferred ringtone, let’s add a custom ringtone to a specific contact. Follow these steps:
- Access your contact list and select the contact that you want to assign a custom ringtone to.
- Tap “Edit” in the top right corner of the screen.
- Scroll down to “Ringtone” and tap on it.
- Select the ringtone that you want to use for this contact from the list of ringtones.
- Tap “Done” to save your changes.
Congratulations! You have successfully assigned a custom ringtone to a specific contact on your iPhone.
Assigning a Custom Ringtone to a Contact
Now that you have added a custom ringtone to a contact, let’s assign it to their phone number. Follow these steps:
- Access your contact list and select the contact that you assigned a custom ringtone to.
- Tap on the phone number that you want to assign the ringtone to.
- Scroll down to “Ringtone” and tap on it.
- Select the custom ringtone that you assigned to this contact.
- Tap “Done” to save your changes.
Now, every time this contact calls or texts you, you will hear their personalized ringtone, making it easier to distinguish their calls from others.
By following these simple steps, you can personalize your iPhone and assign custom ringtones to your contacts. This feature not only adds a fun and personal touch to your phone but also makes it easier to distinguish important calls and texts from less urgent ones.

Troubleshooting Custom Ringtone Issues
Setting custom ringtones for your contacts on your iPhone is a great way to personalize your phone and differentiate between important calls and texts. However, sometimes you may encounter issues with your custom ringtones. Here are some common troubleshooting tips to help you fix the problem:
Ringtone Not Appearing in List
If you’ve downloaded a custom ringtone or created your own, but it’s not appearing in the ringtone list, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that the ringtone is in the correct format and that it is saved to your iPhone’s ringtone library. If it’s still not appearing, try restarting your iPhone or syncing it with iTunes to see if that resolves the issue.
Ringtone Not Playing
If you’ve set a custom ringtone for a specific contact, but it’s not playing when that contact calls you, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that the volume on your iPhone is turned up and that your phone is not set to silent or vibrate mode. If that doesn’t work, try deleting the contact and setting the custom ringtone again.
Ringtone Resetting to Default
If you’ve set a custom ringtone for a specific contact, but it keeps resetting to the default ringtone, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that you’ve saved the changes after setting the custom ringtone. If you have, try deleting the contact and setting the custom ringtone again. If the problem persists, try restarting your iPhone or syncing it with iTunes to see if that resolves the issue.
Deleting Custom Ringtones
If you no longer want to use a custom ringtone, you can easily delete it from your iPhone’s ringtone library. Here’s how:
- Go to “Settings,” then “Sounds & Haptics,” and then “Ringtone.”
- Scroll down to the “Custom” section and find the custom ringtone that you want to delete.
- Swipe left on the ringtone and tap “Delete.”
- Confirm that you want to delete the ringtone by tapping “Delete Tone.”
Once you’ve deleted the custom ringtone, it will no longer appear in your ringtone list, and you won’t be able to assign it to any contacts.
