Change Default Ringtone

Open “Settings” > “Sound” > “Phone ringtone“, then choose the desired sound.

Option 2

If you wish to make your own ringtone, you can place them in the “Ringtones” folder on your Pixel. Once added to the folder, they will be added to the list of selections when you go to change your ringtone.

There are many apps that allow you to add ringtones to your library you can also use like Zedge.

    What worked for me was uploading my 19 second ringtone on OneDrive and selecting it from there.

    I have a Pixel 2 and have specific ringtones for various contacts however I when I edit the contact to change the ringtone, it doesn’t let me hear what I’ve chosen. This wasn’t the way it was when I first got the phone. What’s going on ?

    This does not show how to check a contacts ringtone on the pixel 2xl. I want to see which one was assigned
    previously, do I can change to another.

    No this did not help me at all. I used to be able to set a special ringtone for certain contacts but I cannot find a way to do so with my new Google Pixel 2XL. This description did not work or have the options to do so.

Did this help? Let us know!
