TikTok sound as ringtone

TikTok ringtone: from a video link to your phone's ring

Paste the link of the video with the sound you want. Save it as an MP3 here, then follow the Android steps below to make it ring.

Set a TikTok sound as ringtone on Android

Once the MP3 is on your phone, Android treats it like any other ringtone. Most phones follow this path:

Tap Download MP3 above and wait until the download finishes.
Open Settings and go to Sound (on some phones it's Sounds and vibration).
Tap Ringtone or Phone ringtone.
Look for +, Add or My sounds, then pick the MP3 from your Downloads folder.
Tap Save or OK if your phone asks. Call yourself from another phone to hear it.

Menu names change between Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, Tecno, Infinix and other brands, and between Android versions. Can't find the option? Type "ringtone" into the search bar at the top of Settings.

Plan B

No ringtone option in Settings? Use a file manager

Some file managers and music players can set a ringtone straight from the file. Open your Files app, find the MP3 in Downloads and long-press it. Then open the menu (⋮ or More) and look for Set as ringtone or Use as ringtone.

Not every app has this option. If yours doesn't, the Settings path above still works. You can also move the MP3 into the Ringtones folder on your phone's storage; many phones then list it next to the built-in sounds.

Good to know

Pick the part of the sound you want to hear

A ringtone always starts at the beginning of the file and loops while the phone rings. We don't cut or trim the audio, so the MP3 starts exactly where the video starts.

If the best part of a song comes late, look for another video with the same sound that starts closer to the chorus. Tap the sound name under any video to see the others.

Beyond calls

Use the sound for one contact, alarms or notifications

Want a TikTok sound only when one person calls? In most Contacts apps, open the contact, tap ⋮ or Edit, and look for Ringtone. Then pick the same MP3.

The MP3 can also become your notification sound, in the same Sound settings, or an alarm in the Clock app. Notifications are short, so pick a sound with a strong first second.

iPhone

What about a TikTok ringtone on iPhone?

On iPhone, an MP3 usually can't be picked as a ringtone directly. It takes extra steps, for example importing the sound into Apple's GarageBand app and exporting it as a ringtone, or making an .m4r file on a computer and syncing it.

Those steps change between iOS versions, so we can't promise they will work on your phone. The MP3 you save here plays fine on iPhone; only the ringtone part needs the extra work.

FAQ

TikTok ringtone questions

Question not listed? Drop us a line via the contact page.

Is making a TikTok ringtone free?

Yes. Saving the sound here costs nothing, and the ringtone settings are part of Android. You don't need a ringtone app.

Why does my ringtone start in the wrong place?

Ringtones play from the first second of the file. Our MP3 starts where the video starts, with no trimming. Choose a video where your favorite part comes first, or trim the file in an audio editor.

The MP3 isn't in my ringtone list. What now?

Use the + or Add button on the ringtone screen to browse to Downloads, instead of scrolling the built-in list. Or move the file into the Ringtones folder and open the list again.

Can I set a TikTok sound as ringtone for one contact?

Yes, on most Android phones. Open the contact in your Contacts app, tap Edit or ⋮, choose Ringtone and pick the MP3.

Does this work on iPhone?

You can save and play the MP3 on iPhone. Turning it into a ringtone there needs extra steps, such as GarageBand, and we can't promise they work on every iOS version.

Can I use the sound as an alarm or notification?

Usually, yes. Pick the MP3 as the notification sound in Settings, or as an alarm sound in the Clock app. Names differ by phone.

Which links can I paste?

A TikTok video link, long or short. Sound pages, profiles, photo slideshows, Stories and lives can't be used yet.
