How to Set a Ringtone for a Specific Person on Samsung Galaxy

Do you want to assign a ringtone to a contact on your Samsung Galaxy S21 or Samsung Galaxy S21 running One UI 4.1 or 5.0 based on Android 12 and Android 13 respectively? In this post, we’ll show you how to set a ringtone for a specific person on Samsung Galaxy phones.

Meanwhile, you may personalize the incoming call notifications on your Samsung Galaxy mobile by selecting from among the many different ringtones that are included with each handset. Depending on the carrier to which you are currently enrolled, several ringtones could be offered.

However, you may quickly change the default ringtone to one of your favorite songs if it doesn’t fit your hearing preferences. You may create your own ringtones for everyone or a selected group of contacts on your device using downloaded music and other audio files. Just be sure you download and save it on your Samsung smartphone as a separate audio file.

You can distinguish who is calling and swiftly choose whether to accept or reject the call by assigning a separate ringtone to each individual contact. You may give each member of your family a different ringtone, for instance, so you can recognize their calls and respond to them quickly.
