If you want to erase from memory all ringtones that were downloaded through iTunes, uncheck the box next to "Sync sounds", after which click "Apply". Upon completion, ringtones will be erased from the device's memory, but they will be saved in iTunes;

If you want to delete only certain compositions, then do not uncheck the "Synchronize sounds" checkbox, but in the list below, click on "Selected sounds". A list of all sounds will then be displayed. You just have to uncheck those melodies that need to be erased from the device's memory and press "Change" to confirm the actions.

Removing ringtones using a third-party manager

Using another file manager recommended for use - iTools, you will be able to delete sounds downloaded via iTunes or a second file manager. To delete melodies, you must perform the following actions:

Hey! Recently, we installed our own own ringtone on the iPhone and, despite all the difficulties, we still managed to do it. But after all, a person's tastes are constantly changing - for example, I am already tired of the song that I recently set to ring. I want, you know, something new!

Well, it's not a problem to create something new (), but what to do with an old ringtone that is no longer needed? There are not so many options - leave or delete. If left, it will take up precious internal memory... Therefore, we will delete. And here again, Apple is not as it should be with people.

Why? Because it's not serious at all ...

You can't just grab and delete a ringtone from your iPhone. Well, there is no such option in the iPhone settings!

But how then to be? Now I will tell and show everything. Go!

We will consider only the official method (without jailbreaks and other nonsense). After all, the jailbreak is practically "dead", and this method remove ringtones will live forever :)

As usual, in order for the information to be as truthful and verified as possible personal experience, I will do all the manipulations with you.

So, I have two "extra" ringtones in my iPhone:

Made and downloaded by yourself via iTunes.
Purchased from the Official iTunes Store. The price, by the way, is 22 rubles! But for Kipelov, even a "fifty kopeck" is not a pity :)

Task: remove these ringtones.

Now let's go for sure!

Step 1 (connect iPhone to iTunes). There shouldn't be any problems here - we take a wire (preferably the original one), connect the iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Step 2 (very important point!). After launching iTunes, click on the phone image in the upper left corner.

And then, at the very bottom, set a checkmark in front of the item "Process music and video manually" and click "Apply".

Step 3 (open sound controls)... We do not go anywhere and look at the left side menu - we are interested in the "Sounds" line. We select it - a list of all ringtones that have been downloaded to your iPhone appears on the right.

Step 4 (remove ringtones)... Click on any of these ringtones with the right mouse button, select "Remove from Library" and click "Synchronize".

Everything! We take the iPhone in hand, open "Settings - Sounds, tactile signals - Ringtone" and see that this sound is no longer there. Hooray! Though...

There may always be some problems - where can we go without them? :) And here's what you can do if the above instruction does not help:

Try to install a different build of iTunes. The fact is that the latest versions of the program (12.7 and "older") are "stripped down" - Apple has removed many functions from them. Therefore, and already with its help, we are trying to delete the ringtone.
Try to erase the sound using the same program through which it was originally loaded into the iPhone. Because if the ringtone was installed using third party program(for example, iFunBox), then iTunes may not be able to cope with deleting such melodies.

Nothing works anyway? Well, you can always ask a question in the comments (preferably, describing your situation in more or less detail) - let's try to figure out the problem all together!

And also the ability to sync ringtones with iPhone.

Fortunately, ringtones can still be added through iTunes 12.7, but this is now done in a slightly different way. Users may get confused at first, but the process is actually not that complicated and over time you can easily add ringtones to your phone.

In this guide, we will show you how to add ringtones from computer to iPhone using iTunes 12.7. Make sure the ringtone is in .m4r format, otherwise you won't get anything.

Step 3: If you do not see side panel, you need to turn it on by clicking on View from the menu at the top and then choosing Show side menu... If the panel appears, just skip this step.

step 4: In the iTunes sidebar, click on Sounds... Now just drag the .m4r file into the Sounds section that opens.

If you don't have a section Sounds, drag the ringtone to the section On my device... The Sounds section will appear by itself, and all your ringtones will be displayed in it.
