Are you tired of the default ringtones that are pre-installed in your iPhone?

We all have our favorite music, let's say a bit from movie or album, that we wish to set it as a ringtone in our smartphone, right?

Meanwhile, changing the ringtone according to user preference is one way of customizing their mobile phones.

If you are an Android user, setting a ringtone on your mobile is just a cake walk. You can simply go to Settings → Music → Songs → Set as ringtone.

But what if you are an iPhone user? You have to import the file, sync the ringtone and drag it into the folder, all with the help of iTunes for which you need to know in-depth about the software. Seems Complicated right?
