Whats a ringtone?

Good to have an entire new set of ringtones. Will try them out

‘Mercury’ ringtone is giving off Mac OS X Tiger Welcome video vibes 🙃

Hi, How do I change the notification sound back. I don't like the new one. I'm talking about the sound that plays from things such as news apps, weather apps, ETC. Thanks for your he.lp.

Unless the specific app itself has sound settings in it, you can't.

I won't be surprised if they add that in a later version.

Been on mute since iPhone 3G 😎 honestly don’t even know what sounds iPhone can make 😅

I would really love to be able to customize the bells and whistles on the Apple Watch still though...

So can you finally create your own ringtones with an app or do you still need the Garageband hack?

It seems 3rd party apps that default to the ‘Tri-tone’ for push alerts now get ‘Rebound’ – which is GREAT, albeit more subtle

Finally, some new alert tones to use with whatsapp... How that app is still locked down in that area still blows my mind.

Magical and revolutionary

Is it just me that 100% leaves the iPhone on mute? Can’t even remember the last time I heard it ring. 😂

I hope it is a bug, I reported it yesterday via Feedback (FB13160049).

I hope they revert it! I miss my MGS tones

So are the iOS 7 and the 2007 tones all together under classic? Or are the old ringtones gone completely?

Inexplicably, you can't change the default ringtone still.

I have different ringtones for different family members , all made by me . Do they still show up ?

It sounds almost identical to the call ending sound though, like when a call drops, which is quite confusing.

I actually like a lot of the new ones. I also like the haptic feedback that goes with them. It's also interesting that Chalet, Chirp, Daybreak, Kettle, Scavenger, and Seedling sound more like a song than a ring tone.

 

[Doodah7]

I use the Mario Kart '3-2-1 Start' sounds as my text alert.

 

[floling]

unfortunately you can't use your own selfmade ringtones for alerts like messages or so anymore

 

[nt5672]

So this is what all of the excitement was about!

 

[Ketsjap]

Lol, ringtones. Party like it's 2003!

 

[Spooner83]

Thanks for telling us but it doesn't matter unless you're giving a link to let us hear them. Why not just wait to post this when iOS 17 is available? Oy!

The new sounds are nice (and massively overdue) but this change has broken my custom sounds… they’ve all disappeared?!

Completely ? Maybe adding them back would solve the issue ..

Did they introduce locking calls to FaceTime Yet? The dance of finding FaceTime option every time when calling
