Cannot set a purchased song as a ringtone

I’ve recently purchased a song from itunes, I attempted to set the song as a ringtone when receiving a call. When I go to:


settings>sounds and haptics>ringtone>


the purchased song does not show up in the selection list.


if I then go to:


Tone store>purchased>music>all songs> select “rebirthing”


there is no option to select the song further.


I’m disappointed because I purchased the song specifically for ringtone use.

Did you purchase a song OR a ringtone? They are not the same and to use a ringtone from the iTunes Store, you need to purchase a ringtone specifically. Open iTunes Store and look for the song as a ringtone. Then you can use it as a ringtone. But you can't use a full song as one.
