Add custom ringtones and sounds to iPhone and iPad
Everyone wants to customize their iPhone This is something that, little by little, Apple is making it easier. In the past, just doing Jailbreak to your device you could customize it to your liking. Today it is no longer necessary to jail the iPhone, thanks to iOS 14 and the app Shortcuts we can almost completely customize our mobile.
Today we are going to teach you how to put the sound you want, to any warning that you configure in your shortcuts and automations.
How to put custom sounds in iOS shortcuts and automations:
In the following video we show you how to proceed to configure the sound you want in your automations:
It seems that it is a difficult process to perform but it is very simple. Follow the steps to know how to apply a certain sound to your automations:
- Download from the internet or create a sound (in the Notes app or Garageband) and save it in the “Shortcuts” folder of iCloud Drive , which you can find inside the Files app . If it won't let you move or move it, copy the file and paste it in the "Shortcuts" folder.
- Once saved we have to access the name plus its extension. To do this, we access the "Shorcuts" folder of iCloud Drive and keep the sound pressed until a menu appears in which we must click on the "Information" option.
- We will see the name of the sound file plus its extension. We memorize it or, better yet, we copy it.
- Now we go to the Shortcuts app and within the automation to which we want to add the sound, we must add the following action "Get file" .
- When doing so, a menu will appear where we will have to deactivate "Show document selector" so that it allows us to put the location of the audio file that we want to configure.
- Now in "File path" we paste the name + extension of the audio file.
- Then we click on the blue “+” that appears at the bottom of the menu, we look for “Play sound” (in Latin America it can be “Emit sound”) and when we find it we press it.
Now you can test if running that automation plays the custom sound. To do this, click on the "Play" button that appears at the bottom right of the screen.
Once we have it, we select whether or not we want to request confirmation to execute the shortcut, after that, click on "Ok" .
If it is not very clear to you, we recommend watching the video that we provide in this article. In it, everything is explained step by step.
This way we can configure the custom sound in the automations of our iPhone that we want.
Greetings.
