iPhone - using an .mp3 clip as ringtone?

[anonymous-user]

Hi Chaps,

I've been trying to add a short .mp3 clip to use as a ringtone on my OH's iPhone 7 - with a spectacular lack of success

It's a trivial task on my cheapy Android phone, but I'll be damned if I can do the same on Apple's ste.

So how's it done using 'out of the box' tools - without recourse to 3rd -party 'apps'?

IIRC you'll need to convert it to .mp4 then add it to her songs via iTunes, then set it as a ringtone from the phone once all that's done.

If by "3rd party apps" you also exclude iTunes then, so far as I know you can't. You have to use iTunes

You need part 2 of this https://www.imobie.com/support/set-mp3-as-ringtone...

If you don't see"create AAC version" at step 5 then you need to change the iTunes import settings to AAC (Preferences, General tab) as the "Create...." option will match what the import setting is set to.
