In general, we will now talk not about the causes, but about the consequences, that is, how to change the ringtone on Android.

You can perform this procedure in several ways. The Android OS is endowed with its own built-in tools that you can use in this case, or you can resort to the capabilities of numerous applications.

We find the line "General", click the gear located opposite it, after which we will get to the profile settings. After that, the following settings will become available to us: volume, vibration, notification sounds, etc.
