Change Ringtone on Microsoft Lumia 535

Microsoft has made a little change in the way of changing ringtone in all new Lumia smartphones. If you have already tried to add your own tones or your favourite song as ringtone then you must be noted that when you go to “ringtones + sounds” option under the “All Settings” then you see that there isn’t any option available to add Custom ringtones. Only default ringtones of Windows Phone are available there.

Even, you can’t set any song as ringtone just by right-clicking on it. In order to change ringtone (set your own mp3 as ringtone) on Microsoft Lumia 535, you will have to add new ringtones from your PC to your phone.
