Are ringtones a thing of past? Well, that's debatable. But, what's important is the fact that most of us, if not all love them when they are customisable. While it's as easy as downloading a song and setting it up as a ringtone on Android, things are strangely a bit different when it comes to iOS.

Step 7: Connect your iPhone to your PC/Mac and open iTunes. Now click on the three dots next to the iPhone symbol and click tones in the drop down menu.

Step 8: Drag the ringtone from desktop to the tones section in iTunes and sync tones to your device.
