How to set your own melody in WhatsApp - in detail?

Setting a custom ringtone on WhatsApp allows you to personalize your notifications and make them more distinctive. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this:

Create or Download Your Melody: First, ensure that the melody you want to use is in an appropriate format. WhatsApp supports MP3 and M4R (for iPhone users) formats. You can create your own melody using audio editing software or download it from the internet.
Transfer the File: If you're using a computer, transfer the file to your phone. You can do this via USB cable, cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox, or email. For iPhone users, you might need to use iTunes to sync the file with your device.
Access Your Phone's File Manager: Open the file manager app on your phone. This could be called "Files" (on Samsung devices), "My Files" (on LG devices), or something similar depending on your phone model. Locate the melody you transferred earlier.
Set the Melody as a WhatsApp Ringtone:
- For Android Users:
  - Long press on the melody file until a menu appears.
  - Select "Set as" or "Use as".
  - Choose "WhatsApp ringtone" from the list of options.
- For iPhone Users:
  - Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
  - Go to the "Tones" section in iTunes (you might need to enable this option under Preferences > General).
  - Drag and drop your melody file into the Tones section.
  - Sync your iPhone with iTunes.
  - Once the sync is complete, go to Settings on your iPhone.
  - Navigate to "Sounds & Haptics" > "Ringtone". Your custom melody should now be listed there. Select it as your ringtone.
Confirmation: After setting the melody, you can test it by sending a message to yourself or asking a friend to send you one. You should hear your custom melody playing when you receive a new WhatsApp message.
