Did you already experience one time in your life that you had the same text tone with the person beside you? Here’s a funny part as well – you both received a text message. Both of you checked your iPhone, and you’re the one who didn’t get it.
You are probably smiling right now, and you can still remember that embarrassing moment. So maybe it’s time to change that old classic text tone, right?
If you want to make your favorite song as your default text tone or ringtone, you can easily find that from the iTunes Store and quickly set it up.
The screenshots that we used are from the latest iOS 15. So please update your iPhone to the latest iOS when able.
