Changing the default ringtone for a timer

How can I change the default ringtone for a timer? I don't want to change the ringtone every time I use the app or when I ask Siri to set it for me I will have to manually change the tone, which defeats the purpose.

Thank you!

iPad, iPadOS 17

Apple default timer ringtone After I downloaded iOS 17 on my iPhone 14 Pro i noticed something weird. I obviously know that iOS 17 adds new ringtones, but I want both my alarm and timer ringtone to be the old default one, Radar. So when I went to the clock app I set the alarm back to Radar manually. But when I ask Siri to set a alarm or timer, it always ends up playing Radial, the new default ringtone. Anyone know how to fix this?

Tones IOS 17 There seems to have been a major change to Sounds & Haptics. Since about IOS 8 a user has been able to use custom tones that the user created for all sounds. With IOS 17 it only let you set these tones for the ringtone or timer. All other tones, like text, email, voicemail use a default tone. If you try to set them to a user created tone, there is no option for this. It wants you to go to the tone store and purchase tones. As for the timer, you can use a user created tone if you setup the timer manually. If you use SIRI or the Control Panel on the home screen to setup a timer you get the Radial tone. I expect the they just moved these settings, but I can find them even with a Google search. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be appreciated. I have custom tones that I use for all my sounds and do not want to have to use the defaults or purchase tones that I don't really want.

Hi Namyam13,

Generally, whichever tone is set should remain as long as a timer is set up as shown in Use multiple timers in Clock on iPad - Apple Support

If it's not and you still have issues, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple: Get Support

Cheers.
