CUSTOM RINGTONES & ALERT TONES WITH iOS 17

When setting custom sounds for alerts the option to select a “Ringtone” is currently no longer available with iOS 17. So if you were using a ringtone as your Calendar Alert, for example, you will only be able to change it to an alert tone going forward. I’m not sure why this change was made…maybe an oversight.


My frustration is that I recently purchased some tones from iTunes that were saved as “ringtones” that I wanted to use for alert tones but they no longer display as an option to select.


Has anyone else noticed this issue…??

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

I just purchased several ringtones as well thinking that I would be able to use them for some of my alerts. Had I known that I would not be able to use them in that capacity, I would have never bought them. It was a waste of my money as I purchased several.
