What's the problem with deleting ringtones on iPhone?

As human beings, we love to customize every little piece of our lives—our homes, clothes, and even our smartphones. Apple gives us an easy way to change a case or a wallpaper, but it was always hard to set a new ringtone—or remove it.

In the old days, if you wanted to delete ringtones from your iPhone, you had to launch iTunes, connect your device, select Tones, and sync your iPhone, which was pretty hard.

The problem is that now iTunes does not let you remove custom ringtones unless you bought them in the iTunes store. You can still browse tones in iTunes, but there’s no way to delete them.

So how do you delete ringtones from iPhone?

At Softorino, we developed a new ringtone creator: iRingg (it got positive reviews from Cult of Mac and many reputable press, by the way). It’s literally the same to the ringtone niche as Beyonce is to music. It’s a simple app that helps you create unique ringtones and push them on iPhone in one click.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the latest iOS version it's possible to delete custom-added ringtones from the 'Sound' settings option. Choose the custom ringtone, tap and pull it to the right, and you'll see red 'Delete' option.

iRingg also deletes all custom ringtones from iPhone without iTunes. In a snap.

After we released iRingg, it was so easy to create ringtones that our users eventually had them more than contacts! So, we decided to implement a new delete-your-ringtones feature.

How does it work?

It as simple as ABC. Follow the quick instructions below.

  • Launch iRingg
  • Then connect your iPhone
  • Navigate to “Tones” tab
  • Select a ringtone you want to remove.

Tip for a pro

You don’t have to plug your iPhone in every time. Simply connect it via Wi-Fi by going to Preferences in the menu bar. From the list, choose your iOS device. Right away iRingg will recognize your device via wireless networks.

You should know that iRingg is a paid app & it comes with a free trial. But the ‘delete ringtones’ feature is free to use even after your trial expires. So there are no strings attached – go ahead and download iRingg for free. 🙂

How do I create amazing great ringtones with iRingg?

Ringtones are the greatest thing since jelly and peanut butter. They are fun and chill. You have the freedom to make them silly and joyful or dramatic and balanced. With iRingg, you can create any ringtone that best matches your mood.

How to create unique iPhone Ringtones:

  1. Connect your iPhone (via Wi-Fi or USB)
  2. Select a track in For You section. Or search for any song online.
  3. Trim + add effects
  4. Click “Export to iPhone”
  5. Head to the Settings > Tones & select your new ringtone!

iRingg is powered by 6Sense technology. That said, it literally reads your mind. In the “For You” section, iRingg suggests tracks that you already listen to.

This is done with the help of machine learning technology that surveys your local music library and the streaming services you’re subscribed too. (Just in case – don’t worry, we don’t store any of your data. It’s all kept on your computer!)

What if you want to convert a specific YouTube track into a ringtone? It has never been easier! Simply go to the “Search online” tab in iRingg and type the song name.

The app will immediately pull the search results from YouTube and SoundCloud. You can preview the song and select it right afterward.

Wanna make your song truuuuuuuly special? Say no more. You can record your own 15-second voiceover – or add fun sound effects that nobody else has. In seconds – you will create a unique iPhone ringtone in the entire universe.

Conclusion

All the coolest kids in the 2000-s had plenty of custom ringtones, be it “We Will Rock You” by Queen or “Freestyler” by Bomfunk MC. You could quickly choose a desired jingle and show it off before your stunned friends. Now, creating ringtones is even easier than that!

With iRingg you can create 1000000s of ringtones – and remove them just as fast! All you need to do is simply to navigate to the “Your Tones” tab and select all tracks you no longer need. iRingg will then delete ringtones from the iPhone forever and ever.

Even in 2024, ringtones can be great fun! It takes just seconds to create your new perfect ringtone.
