    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.

    Neither do I, Pixel 5, excelent phone. Impossible to customize your ringtone…actually this is a step back in a lot of ways.

    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.
