Step 1: Open the Contacts App
The first step is to open the contacts app on your smartphone. This app contains all the contact information of your friends, family, and colleagues. You can typically find this app on your home screen or in the app drawer. Once you open the app, you will be able to see all your contacts listed.
Step 2: Search for the Desired Contact
After opening the contacts app, you need to search for the specific contact for whom you want to set a custom ringtone. You can scroll through the list manually, or you can use the search bar at the top to quickly find the desired contact. Once you locate the contact, tap on it to open their profile.
Step 3: Edit Contact Details
Now that you have opened the contact’s profile, you will see various options to edit their details. Look for the option that says “Edit” or a pencil icon usually located at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to proceed to the editing section.
Step 4: Assign Custom Ringtone
Within the editing section, scroll down until you find the option to set a custom ringtone for the contact. The exact location of this option may vary depending on the smartphone manufacturer and the operating system. However, it is usually labeled as “Ringtone” or “Set Ringtone.”
Step 5: Choose a Ringtone
Once you access the option to set a custom ringtone, you will be presented with a list of ringtones available on your smartphone. This may include default ringtones or downloaded ones. Browse through the list until you find the desired ringtone, and then select it by tapping on it.
Step 6: Save Changes
After selecting the desired ringtone, click on the “Save” button or any similar option provided to confirm your selection. The changes will be automatically saved, and the selected ringtone will now be set only for that specific contact.
Step 7: Test the Ringtone
To ensure that the ringtone is set correctly for that contact, you can do a quick test by asking someone to call you from their phone. If everything is set up correctly, the customized ringtone will play when that specific contact calls you.
By following these simple steps, you can set a custom ringtone for one contact on your smartphone. This can be particularly useful for identifying important calls, such as from your family or close friends, without it being necessary to check your phone or notification screen. So the next time your phone rings with a customized tune, you will know exactly who is calling before even picking up the call.
