If you’re the proud owner of an iPhone, your smartphone ringtone might scare you away. You don’t like the melody and rhythm of Apple’s ringtone. Or tired of hearing the same ringtone with other people around you using the same iPhone. To distinguish yourself from others, you may need to have a personalized ringtone that will allow you to clearly distinguish yourself from the rest.
Of course, Apple has a huge set of default ringtones that come with the iPhone. It is also possible to go to iTunes to choose a part of your favorite song as the main ringtone. But if you really want to stand out from the crowd, it’s also possible to create a completely unique ringtone that no other iPhone user will ever have in their lifetime. You can create your own ringtone for this easily and with a few clicks. You have two very simple options here. And we’ll show you how.
