How to set music for a call in WhatsApp - briefly?

To set custom ringtones or notification sounds for calls on WhatsApp, you will need to use third-party applications as the default app does not support this feature natively. Apps like "WhatsApp Ringtones" can help you achieve this by allowing you to select specific audio files for your contacts or groups.

How to set music for a call in WhatsApp - in detail?

Setting custom ringtones for calls on WhatsApp can be a fun way to personalize your communication experience. Currently, the ability to set custom ringtones directly within the WhatsApp app is limited and depends on the operating system of your device. However, there are workarounds that allow you to achieve this on both iOS and Android devices.

For Android Devices:

1. Choose Your Ringtone: Decide which audio file you want to use as your WhatsApp call ringtone. Ensure the file is in a compatible format such as MP3 or M4A.

2. Transfer the File: If the ringtone file is not already on your device, transfer it from your computer using a USB cable or cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox.

3. Use a File Manager: Open a file manager app on your Android device. Popular options include ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer. Navigate to the folder where you saved your ringtone file.

4. Rename the File: Rename the audio file to have a .ogg extension. This is the format that Android recognizes for ringtones. For example, rename "song.mp3" to "song.ogg".

5. Move the File: Move the renamed file to the Ringtones folder on your device. You can find this folder in the internal storage or SD card, depending on your settings.

6. Set the Ringtone:

   • Open the WhatsApp app and go to the "Calls" tab.
   • Tap on the three dots (menu icon) at the top right corner of the screen.
   • Select "Settings".
   • Navigate to "Notifications".
   • Under the "Ringtone" section, you should see your newly added ringtone listed. Select it.

For iOS Devices:

1. Choose Your Ringtone: Similar to Android, select an audio file that you want to use as your WhatsApp call ringtone. Ensure the file is in a compatible format such as M4A or MP3.

2. Transfer the File: If the ringtone file is not already on your device, transfer it using iTunes or a cloud storage service like iCloud Drive.

3. Convert to AAC Format: iOS devices use the AAC format for ringtones. You can convert your audio file to AAC using iTunes:

   • Open iTunes and add your chosen audio file to your library.
   • Right-click on the song and select "Create AAC Version".

4. Rename the File: Rename the newly created AAC file to have an .m4r extension. This is the format that iOS recognizes for ringtones. For example, rename "song.m4a" to "song.m4r".

5. Add the Ringtone to Your Device:

   • Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
   • Drag the .m4r file into the "Tones" section of your device in iTunes.

6. Set the Ringtone:

   • On your iPhone, go to "Settings".
   • Scroll down and tap on "Sounds & Haptics".
   • Under the "Ringtone" section, you should see your newly added ringtone listed. Select it.

Important Notes:

• Custom WhatsApp call ringtones are not officially supported by WhatsApp itself but can be set using the device's native settings as described above.
• The process may vary slightly depending on the specific model and version of your Android or iOS device.
• Always ensure that you have proper permissions to use the audio file as a ringtone, especially if it is copyrighted material.
