    • hello Sophia,
      you can try this,
      Connect your phone to a PC and copy the custom ringtones into the folder “ringtones” (or however it is called if you have different language settings) from the PC. Attention you must do this via a PC! The tones will not be notices if you use a filemanager on the phone itself to copy locally.

      Now your ringtones should be added to the list.

        • Hello Pumulo,
          you can try this:
          1. Windows 10 Mobile has a simple way to create a ringtone. For this purpose, OS has preinstalled Ringtone Maker. You could take its advantage before, but it had to be downloaded from the “shop”.
          2. Go to the Ringtone Maker application, click on the item “Select ringtone”.
          3. Select a song and click on it. In order to create a ringtone you can use any track from your library to your smartphone.
          4. You will see the scale, where moving the endpoints of the segment you can cut any part of the composition to create a ringtone. Its length may be from seconds to minutes. Select the desired interval and click on the icon “Save” at the bottom of the screen.
