Now let's take a closer look at how to install a ringtone on an iPhone.
1. Uploading the ringtone file to iTunes
Instructions on how to put a melody on an iPhone via iTunes are described in detail in the article “How to upload music to an iphone”.
Open iTunes (you can download it for free from the official website apple.com/ru/itunes/download).
Go to the “Music” section by clicking on the notes icon in the upper left corner.
Click on “File” and in the pop-up menu that appears, select “Add File to Library”.
The uploaded file will appear in your library.
2. Limiting the length of the melody
Now you need to reduce the length of the piece of music to 40 seconds, otherwise you won't be able to put music on the iPhone's call.
This can be done using online services or special programs on the smartphone itself.
Here's how to do it in iTunes.
Right click on the name of the music file. Select “Details” from the drop-down menu.
The file properties window will open. Click the Options tab. Here, in the “start” and “end” fields, you need to indicate the fragment of the recording that you want to cut out of the entire piece of music.
The duration of a fragment should not exceed 40 seconds.
After setting the time interval, click “OK”.
Outwardly, nothing has changed.
Now you need to convert the file to ringtone format and put the song on the call.

You can immediately copy the resulting file to another folder where you can easily find it.

Return to the explorer window and drag the ringtone file with the mouse to the iTunes window. (You can do it through the “File” item. By default, the converted files are in the C: \ username \ My Music \ iTunes folder). The file should appear in the list of ringtones.
