How to get ringtones, text tones, and alert tones in the iTunes Store on iPad

In the iTunes Store app, you can purchase ringtones, text tones, and other alert tones for clock alarms and more.

Tones you bought on another device can be downloaded again with your Apple Account, and you also have the option to permanently download them to a compatible device.

Redownload tones purchased with your Apple Account

If you bought tones on another device, you can download them again.

  1. Open Settings and then tap Sounds.
  2. Below Sounds, tap Ringtone.
  3. Tap Download All Purchased Tones. You might not see this option if you already downloaded all the tones that you purchased or if you haven’t purchased any tones.

When you purchase access to movies, TV shows, music, music videos, ebooks, audiobooks, or ringtones from Apple, you also have the option to permanently download these items to a compatible iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. Apple cannot revoke your downloaded content, and you can always access your downloaded content without an internet connection.
