How to set a custom ringtone for WhatsApp on iPhone 11 - in detail?

To set a custom ringtone for WhatsApp on your iPhone 11, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Prepare Your Custom Ringtone: First, you need to have the audio file that you want to use as your custom ringtone. This can be any sound or music file in formats supported by iTunes, such as MP3 or AAC. Make sure the file is no longer than 40 seconds, as this is the maximum length for a custom ringtone on iPhone.

  2. Add the File to Your iTunes Library: Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes (or Finder if you're using macOS Catalina or later). Locate the audio file on your computer and drag it into your iTunes library. Alternatively, you can use the "File" menu in iTunes to add the file.

  3. Create an AAC Version of Your Ringtone: After adding the file to your iTunes library, right-click on it and select "Create AAC Version". This will create a new version of the file that is compatible with iPhone ringtones.

  4. Convert the File to M4R Format: Once you have the AAC version, right-click on it again and select "Show in Finder" (or "Show in Windows Explorer"). Change the file extension from ".m4a" to ".m4r". This will convert the file into a format that your iPhone recognizes as a ringtone.

  5. Sync Your Custom Ringtone with Your iPhone: Go back to iTunes (or Finder) and connect your iPhone if it's not already connected. Click on the device icon in the top-left corner of iTunes, then select "Tones" from the list of options in the sidebar. Check the box next to your custom ringtone to select it, then click the "Sync" button at the bottom right of the window.

  6. Set Your Custom Ringtone for WhatsApp: After syncing, disconnect your iPhone and go to "Settings". Scroll down and tap on "Sounds & Haptics", then tap on "Ringtone". You should see your custom ringtone listed under "Custom". Tap on it to select it.

  7. Assign the Ringtone to WhatsApp: Finally, go to the "WhatsApp" app and navigate to "Settings" > "Notifications". Under "Sounds", you can now select your custom ringtone from the list.

By following these steps, you will have successfully set a custom ringtone for WhatsApp on your iPhone 11. Enjoy personalizing your notifications with your favorite sounds!
