Xiaomi: Change the Ringtone for a Contact Group

Xiaomi lets you set one ringtone for every member of a contact group, but individual contact settings inside MIUI always take priority when both are configured.

That is why a group tone sometimes seems ignored: if you or the caller previously picked a personal ringtone for that contact, MIUI keeps using it instead of the group sound.

To set or change a group ringtone, open Contacts app ➔ My groups ➔ Select a group ➔ Ringtone ➔ Choose a ringtone. The new tone applies to every contact in that group who does not already have a custom ringtone assigned.

If you want the group tone to apply without exception, remove the personal ringtone from each contact first. Open the contact, check the ringtone field, and reset it to default before assigning the group sound.

This setting only affects incoming calls, not notification sounds for messages from group members.
