How to set a ringtone for a WhatsApp call contact - in detail?

To set a unique ringtone for a specific WhatsApp contact, follow these detailed steps:

1. Create or Download the Ringtone: First, ensure that you have the desired ringtone on your device. You can either create a custom ringtone using an audio editing app or download one from a reliable source. The file should be in MP3, WAV, or another supported format.

2. Transfer the Ringtone to Your Device: If you've created or downloaded the ringtone on your computer, transfer it to your device via USB cable or cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

3. Set the Ringtone for the Contact:

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the specific contact for whom you want to set the custom ringtone.
   • Tap on the contact's name at the top of the chat screen. This will open their profile information.
   • Scroll down and tap on "Custom Notifications". If this option is not visible, it might be because WhatsApp has not yet rolled out this feature to your device or region.
   • In the "Custom Notifications" menu, toggle the switch for "Use Custom Notification". This will enable you to set custom sounds for calls and messages from this contact.
   • Tap on "Call Ringtone". A list of available ringtones on your device will appear. Scroll through the list and select the ringtone you want to assign to this contact. If you don't see the ringtone, make sure it is saved in a location that WhatsApp can access (like the default ringtone folder).
   • After selecting the ringtone, tap "OK" or "Save" (the exact button might vary depending on your device and WhatsApp version).

4. Verify the Ringtone: To ensure that the custom ringtone is set correctly, you can ask a friend to call you using WhatsApp. When they do, check if the ringtone plays as expected.

By following these steps, you can personalize your WhatsApp experience and easily distinguish between different contacts based on their unique ringtones.
