How to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones without installing any apps?

Last Modified: January 7, 2023 · 2 Comments

customize Galaxy S22 ringtones on without installing any apps

You can customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for each SIM card and individual contacts with the pre-installed ringtones or your own audio or music files without installing any third-party apps.

This Galaxy S22 how-to guide explains how Galaxy S22 ringtones work, how to adjust the volume for Galaxy S22 ringtones, and how to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for each SIM card and for individual contacts.

With the Android 13 update (One UI 5 update), you can also customize the call background for individual contacts.

Everything about using, adjusting and customizing Galaxy S22 ringtones

  • How do Galaxy S22 ringtones work?
  • How to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones?
    • Use the volume key pop-up menu to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones

How do Galaxy S22 ringtones work?

When someone calls your numbers directly, Galaxy S22 ringtones will then kick in automatically. Such calls are handled by the Phone app on Galaxy S22.

At the same time, you will see the incoming call notification icon in the status bar.

If the call is made through some apps, e.g., WhatsApp, Skype, or Wechat, then the ringtone is usually set in the app itself. You may check the settings in these apps. If you are using Dual Messenger, you need to set the ringtone for the two copies of the app individually if you do not want to use the default sound.

In this guide, Galaxy S22 ringtones actually refer to the ringtone for the Phone app.

Essentially, Galaxy S22 ringtones are just the notification sounds for incoming calls in the Phone app.

When your number (associated with the SIM card) is called, your carrier will notify your phone, and the Phone app then plays the ringtone (rings).

So, if you mute the phone or the phone is in vibrate sound mode, then the ringtones will not be played.

Please note, in the Do Not Disturb (DnD) mode, by default, the incoming calls are muted.

How to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones?

Before adjusting the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones, you need to know on Galaxy S22 (and most other smartphones), the volume of the following is independent:

  • Media
  • Ringtones.
  • Notification tones.
  • Bixby.
  • System.

This means that you need to adjust the volume for these items individually.

The volume key on Galaxy S22, by default, only adjusts the volume for media (or what is being played when the volume key is pressed).

There are at least two ways to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones:

  1. Use the volume key pop-up menu.
  2. Use Settings.

Use the volume key pop-up menu to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones

When you press the volume up or volume down key, it only increases the volume of media.

At the same time, you will see a pop-up menu, as shown in the screenshot below. This pop-up menu will disappear automatically after about 30 seconds if no touchscreen gesture is detected.

You can tap the expand icon (3 dots), as shown in the screenshot below, to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones.

The menu is now expanded with volume bars for all volume settings, including the one for Galaxy S22 ringtones, as shown in the screenshot above.

You can tap the bar for the ringtone to adjust the volume for it by dragging it up or down.

There is also a gear icon in the expanded menu. This is the shortcut to the volume settings page (read on).

Use volume settings to adjust the volume of Galaxy S22 ringtones

You can also access volume settings for Galaxy S22 ringtones in Galaxy S22 Settings.

On Galaxy S22 Settings, as shown below, tap Sounds and vibration to open sound-related settings, including the volume of Galaxy ringtones.

On the Sounds and vibration settings page, you can scroll down to find the volume entry.

We will come back to this page later when you want to customise the ringtones.

Tap Volume, as shown in the screenshot above, to open the volume settings page.

On the volume settings page, as shown in the screenshot below, you can adjust the volume for Galaxy S22 ringtones (and others).

You can drag the slider left or right to adjust the volume. If you drag the slider to the leftmost side, ringtones will be muted. But this doesn’t mute the vibrations if you don’t turn it off.

How to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for each SIM card?

By default, each SIM card on Galaxy S22 is assigned a ringtone. You can customize it with any pre-installed ringtones. You can also use your own music or audio files as Galaxy S22 ringtones without using any third-party apps.

On the Galaxy S22 Settings page, tap Sounds and vibration, as shown earlier. Then on the Sounds and vibration page, tap Ringtones, as shown below, to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones.

For the dual SIM version of Galaxy S22, each SIM card ( each number) has its own ringtones so that you can know which number is being called when the phone rings.

You need to change the ringtone for each SIM card individually.

In Galaxy S22 Settings, tap Sounds and vibration. Then on the Sounds and vibration settings page, find the Ringtones section near the top of the page, as shown below.

The current Galaxy S22 ringtones for each SIM card are listed, as shown in the screenshot.

You can tap Ringtones to expand the entry to a full page.

For example, if you want to change the ringtone, you can tap SIM 1, as shown above.

You will be directed to the ringtones page, as shown below.

Here, you can choose any pre-installed ringtones (including those copied when transferring data from your old phone).

You can also enable Vibrate while ringing so that the phone vibrates when it rings. This is useful if you often miss calls because you do not hear the ringing.

Of course, you can tap the + button to use your own music or audio files as the ringtone for the SIM card.

Select Galaxy S22 ringtones for the SIM card
grant permission for the Sound Picker so that you can use your own music files as Galaxy S22 ringtones

After tapping the + button, the Sound Picker will let you choose any audio files saved on the phone,

However, if you use this feature the first time, it will ask you to grant permission for the app to access the files on the phone.

Tap Allow, as shown above, so that you can select your own music files as Galaxy S22 ringtones for this SIM card.

All your music files saved on the Galaxy S22 will be shown in the Sound Picker, as shown in the screenshot below. You can switch among the Tracks, Albums, Artists, and Folders tabs at the bottom of the page to locate your music file easily.

For example, you want to use Hot N Cold as the default ringtone for SIM card 1. So, tap the music file, as shown below, to select it.

Select your own music files as Galaxy S22 ringtones
Preview the select music

Sound Picker should now play the music so that you can “preview” the new ringtone.

By default, the Sound Picker will automatically choose the “highlights” of the music as the ringtone instead of the whole music file. If you prefer to use the whole music file, you can disable “Play highlights only“, as shown in the screenshot below.

You need to tap the Done button, as shown in the screenshot above, to confirm the selection and return back. If you forget to tap the Done button and leave this page, the change will NOT be applied.

Now, you can go back to check the new ringtones on the Ringtones page, as shown below.

Similarly, you can follow the same procedure to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for SIM card 2.

How to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for individual contact?

In addition to each SIM card, you can also customise Galaxy S22 ringtones for individual contact. You can know who is calling without looking at the screen.

The customisation needs to be done in the Contacts app, which can also be accessed inside the Phones app.

If you are in the Contacts tab of the Phone app, you need to tap the icon of the contact, then tap the information button, as shown in the screenshot below, to open the contact.

Open contact info from Phone app

You will then open the detail page of that contact, as shown below.

If you are in the contacts app, tap the icon of the contact to access the contact directly.

Anyway, you need one additional tap to access the contact info page for that person.

Tap the Edit (pencil) button, as shown below, to assign a customized ringtone for this contact.

Contact detail page
customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for individual contact

By default, on Galaxy S22, the contact info is shown on about one screen.

You need to tap View More, as shown in the screenshot above, to expand the page and access ringtone settings for the contact.

On the expanded information page, you can find the Ringtone entry, as shown in the screenshot below.

If you want to customize Galaxy S22 ringtones for this contact (e.g., you want to know this contact is calling when the phone rings), tap Ringtone.

select Galaxy S22 ringtones for the contact

Now, you can find a similar ringtone settings page.

As explained earlier, you can choose from all available ringtones or use your own music file as the ringtone for this contact.

You must remember to tap the Save button (as shown on the contact info page) to save the customization. Otherwise, all changes will be discarded.

Please note, if you choose to use a video as a call background for this contact, by default, the sound of the video will overwrite the ringtone setting and be used as the ringtone, as explained in this guide. In this case, you can set the Ringtone again if you do not want to use the audio in the video as the ringtone for this contact.

    I would love to make a different sound for Outlook messages, teams messages and texts (in general) how do I do separate sounds for each notification?

      There are two ways to do it.
      Method 1 (for some apps): Some apps provide notification tone setting inside the app. For example, the Outlook app allows you to customize notification tone inside the app. You can tap the Settings icon (bottom) in the hamburger menu. But the Teams app does not offer this option. The Messages app (for text messages) only allows you to customize notification tones for individual contacts. So, for Teams and Messages, you need method 2.

      Method 2 (for all apps): In Settings– Notifications — App notifications, tap the app (for example, Teams), and make sure the notification is not disabled. Then tap notification categories, and you can find many types of notifications. If you want to change the notificaiton tone for chats, tap Chats (make sure notificaiton is not disabled), You can then tap the Sound to change the notification tone for all chats (if Alert is on, not Silent).
