How to Turn a Voice Memo into an iPhone Ringtone in iOS 16
To get started on the right note, let’s sort out the confusion and also answer some fundamental questions for a clear understanding!
Important Things to Know Before We Begin
Now, before we move on to the method of converting voice memos into iPhone ringtones on iOS 16, there are a few key things that you should know.
Firstly, there is no official way to set a voice memo as a ringtone on iPhones. Apple does not offer this kind of feature as the Cupertino giant wants its users to buy their ringtones from the iTunes Store. So, the method we have here is a simple workaround that you can use to convert voice memos into iPhone ringtones. Secondly, it is worth mentioning that you will be needing Apple’s GarageBand for this method. So, if you do not have it installed on your device already, get it right now from the App Store. Do keep in mind that it is a pretty big application, and hence, you need sufficient storage on your iPhone to download and install GarageBand. Another important point that you should know is that with this method, you will be limited to a 40-second ringtone. Anything in the voice memo over the 40-second mark will be automatically removed from it and the final ringtone will adhere to this time limit. Moreover, for text tone, the time limit is 30 seconds. So, if your custom recording is between 30 and 40 seconds, it will only be available as a standard ringtone and not as a text tone. Hence, it is recommended you choose a voice memo that is under 40 seconds to set it as a ringtone on your iPhone. If you intend to set the tone as your text tone, keep it under the 30-second mark.
Now, with these out of the way, let us take a look at how you can turn your recorded voice memos into iPhone ringtones easily.
