Vote now: Do you use a custom ringtone on your phone?،
A few months ago, when I gave up and finally adopted the iPhone (at least for a little while), a strange obstacle stood in my way. Setting a custom ringtone on an iPhone is quite tedious. I even bought the song I wanted from Apple Music, but for some reason I couldn’t import it as a ringtone. Through a very complex and strange procedure involving GarageBand, I was finally able to set this thing as a ringtone. But this whole ordeal got me thinking. Do people still use custom ringtones? Like at all? Apple, of all companies, would have been the first to make such a process completely hassle-free, and the fact that it’s anything but hassle-free speaks volumes.
In the past, it was all about individuality and expression. We would manually type in each note of a ringtone to let the world know we were listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers or Iron Maiden the next time our phone rang. Nowadays, it’s not so clear. When using the Metro, I often hear preset and default Samsung and Apple ringtones ringing around me.
On the one hand, your choice of ringtone can reflect your personality, your interests, or even your sense of humor. It becomes a signature sound, announcing your presence in a way that is unmistakably you. Whether it’s a snippet of your favorite song, a memorable quote from a movie, or a melody that has sentimental value, a personalized ringtone allows you to curate a listening experience that touches you. a personal level.
But on the other hand, some argue that personalized ringtones can be intrusive or distracting, especially in public spaces. The sudden sound of an unconventional or loud ringtone can attract unwanted attention and disrupt the environment. Also, people don’t use their phones much for calling these days, it’s just messaging apps, texting, reels, etc.
So, do you use a custom ringtone on your phone? What influenced your decision? Is it a reflection of your personality, or do you prefer the simplicity of the default tones? Vote and let us know in the comments section below.
