Realme: Change Ringtone for Calls and Notifications

If every incoming call sounds the same on your realme phone, business and private lines can be hard to tell apart on dual SIM setups. Notification tones live in a separate sound slot too, so alerts often keep the same generic sound even after you change the ringtone. Realme UI lets you assign a distinct tone per SIM card and swap in any tone from the built-in sound library.

Change Ringtone and Notification Sound auf Realme

Every incoming call on a realme phone plays whatever tone is stored under sound settings, and that tone stays completely separate from notification sounds, message alerts or alarm tones. If you only swap the general system sound, calls and notifications can keep sounding identical, which becomes confusing on dual SIM units where each SIM slot has its own ringtone assignment.

To change it, go to Tap on SettingsTap on Sound & vibrationTap on RingtoneChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Choose a Ringtone. On dual SIM devices you repeat the SIM selection step for the second slot if you want a different tone for it.

This menu only changes the call ringtone. If notifications, messages or alarms still sound wrong, those use their own separate sound entry and are not affected by this change. Custom audio files used as ringtones need to stay on the device; moving or deleting them makes Realme UI fall back to a default tone automatically.

Frequently asked questions

No. Notification sounds use a separate slot in Realme UI's sound settings, independent from the call ringtone you set under Sound & vibration.
