    From google:
    "To set a custom ringtone on an iPhone 17 (iOS 17+), ensure your audio file is 30 seconds or less. Save the file to the Files app, then long-press it, select Share, and choose "Use as Ringtone". Alternatively, use GarageBand to create, export, and apply custom tones.

    Method 1: Using the Files App (Easiest)
    Download/Prepare: Download an M4R or MP3 file (under 30s) in Safari or move it to your Files app.
    Locate File: Open the Files app and find the audio file.
    Share: Long-press the file and tap Share.
    Set: Scroll to select "Use as Ringtone". If not visible, tap "More" to find the option.
    Confirm: The tone will now be listed in your Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone.

    Method 2: Using GarageBand (For Custom Editing)
    Open GarageBand: Select the "Audio Recorder" (microphone icon).
    Track View: Tap the Track View icon (leftmost icon top left).
    Import Song: Tap the Loop Browser icon (top right), select "Files," and drag your song into the timeline.
    Trim: Tap the audio track to trim to under 30 seconds.
    Export: Tap the down arrow (top left) > My Songs.
    Use as Ringtone: Long-press your song > Share > Ringtone

    Open the Contacts app on your iPhone. Select a contact, tap Edit, tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone.
