Any Android mobile phone model comes standard with a wide and varied selection of ringtones. The truth is that there is a lot to choose from, although on many occasions we prefer a more personalized ringtone. For example, that of a musical theme that we particularly like. In this post we are going to see how to put a ringtone song on our phone.
The option is available, but we can only use it with songs that we already have downloaded to our mobile (at the moment, nothing to do with Spotify nor with other similar applications), and almost always in MP3 format. We explain everything in more detail below.
Choosing a music theme and using it as a ringtone is just one of the many customization options that Android offers its users. It is also one of the first functions that was already included in the first versions of the operating system. Let's see how to use it:

- Next, there are two possible options:
- Android opens the file manager document picker.
- Android asks us which application we want to use to choose the song.
