Hi,
I love the new ringtones, but have discovered something very bizarre.
If youāve purchased a Ringtone from the iTunes Store, or created one yourself,
from a song you purchased, it does not show up under the alerts section.
However, if you go under ringtones, everything is there.
Why might this
Probably because Apple want to encourage people to keep buying new ringtones,
