Ever wished you could turn your kids voice into an adorable ringtone saying “Daddy answer your phone!”? Or maybe a message from your spouse saying “Hi honey” when you get a call from their cell phone? Or maybe the sound of your dog barking when you get a call from your dog what, whoa!
1: Record the Voice Message & Send it to Yourself
• Launch “Voice Memos” on the iPhone and tap the red button to record the desired voice message
• Next, tap on the recorded voice memo, then tap the blue “Share” button and select “Email” to send it to an email address you can check from your computer
• Now jump onto your computer, Mac or Windows, you’ll want file extensions visible so that you can change it at the next point.
2: Turn the Voice Memo into a Ringtone & Import to iTunes
• This is the easiest part. Because the Voice Memo recordings are captured and saved as “.m4a” file format, you only need to rename the file extension to a “m4r” to convert it into a ringtone:
• Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r
• Double-click the newly renamed .m4r file to launch it into iTunes, it will be stored under “Tones”
• Connect the iPhone to the computer (or use wi-fi sync) drag & drop the ringtone from “Tones” to the iPhone”
• This is the only time you will need to use the computer, so now you can go back to the iPhone to assign the voice recording as the ringtone or text tone.
3: Assign the Voice Memo as the Ring Tone (or Text Tone)
• If you’ve assigned custom contact ringtones or individual text tones before this should be familiar to you, otherwise here’s all you need to do:
• Open Contacts, locate the contact name, tap “Edit”
• Select either “ringtone” or “text tone” to change it
• Look under “Ringtones” for the newly transferred ring tone name (default is “Memo” if you didn’t rename it), select that and tap “Save”
