I took my Android phone off silent mode and started using AI ringtones — and I love it

Some imagination and an AI tool is all you need. I took my Android phone off silent mode and started using AI ringtones — and I love it. It meant you had an advanced phone capable of such witchcraft, after all.

Unfortunately, it took less than a decade for custom ringtones to go from impressive to something most people considered tacky. The rise of smartphones and the bombardment of notifications didn’t help custom ringtones any, either. Even if not as popular as they once were, ringtones are still a great way to add a little flair to your phone, as long as you don’t go overboard.

These days, there are tons of sources for ringtones, from dedicated apps to websites that allow you to download ringtone files. Many phones can even take full tunes you own and automatically cut them into ringtones.
