Is your phone always on silent because you can’t tell who’s calling? Do you miss important calls from your loved ones because you can’t hear your phone ringing? If so, then it’s time to set a unique ringtone for each of your contacts. This way, you’ll always know who’s calling, even if your phone is on silent. Setting a ringtone for a contact is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how to do it:
First, open your contacts app and select the contact you want to set a ringtone for. Then, tap on the “Edit” button. On the contact’s edit page, scroll down to the “Ringtone” section. Tap on the “Ringtone” option and select a ringtone from the list. You can also choose to set a custom ringtone by tapping on the “Add” button and selecting a music file from your device. Once you’ve selected a ringtone, tap on the “Save” button to save your changes.
Now, when that contact calls you, your phone will play the ringtone you’ve assigned to them. This will help you to easily identify who’s calling, even if your phone is on silent. You can also set different ringtones for different groups of contacts, such as family, friends, and work colleagues. This way, you’ll always know what type of call it is, even if you don’t have your phone in your hand.
