How to set a WhatsApp ringtone on a Samsung phone - in detail?

To set a custom WhatsApp ringtone on your Samsung phone, follow these detailed steps:

1. Create or Download the Ringtone: First, you need to have the desired ringtone file on your Samsung device. You can either create one using a ringtone maker app or download it from a reliable source. Ensure the file is in a compatible format such as MP3 or M4A.

2. Transfer the Ringtone (if needed): If you've created or downloaded the ringtone on your computer, transfer it to your Samsung phone using a USB cable or cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

3. Access File Manager: Open the 'My Files' app on your Samsung device. This is usually found in the app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping on the gear icon (Settings) followed by 'Device care' and then 'Storage'.

4. Locate the Ringtone File: Navigate to the folder where you saved the ringtone file. It could be in the 'Downloads' folder, 'Music' folder, or any other location you chose during the transfer process.

5. Set the Ringtone for WhatsApp:

   • Tap and hold on the ringtone file until a menu appears at the top of the screen.
   • Select 'More options' (represented by three vertical dots) from the menu.
   • Choose 'Set as' or 'Rename'. If you select 'Rename', change the file extension to .ogg, which is the format WhatsApp uses for ringtones.
   • After renaming, tap on the file again and select 'Set as' > 'Phone ringtone'. This will set the custom ringtone for all calls, but we need it specifically for WhatsApp.

6. Change Ringtone in WhatsApp Settings:

   • Open the WhatsApp application on your Samsung phone.
   • Tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to access the menu.
   • Select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.
   • Go to 'Notifications'.
   • Under 'Message tone', tap on the current ringtone. This will open a list of available ringtones.
   • Scroll down and select the custom ringtone you set earlier. It should be listed under 'My sounds' or similar category.

7. Save Changes: Once you've selected your custom WhatsApp ringtone, tap on the checkmark (✓) or 'OK' button to save your changes.

By following these steps, you will have successfully set a custom WhatsApp ringtone on your Samsung phone. Enjoy personalizing your notifications!
