Google has begun rolling out a new custom ringtone option that allows users to easily assign a unique sound to each contact

This was first noticed by leaker Mishaal Rahman in a post shared on X, where he revealed that many users saw a new "Contacts Ringtones" page in version 42726 of the Google Contacts app Presumably, this page is accessed from the "Fix and Manage" tab, but Google is gradually working on changing it to the new "Organize" tab instead

Once in the correct menu, users can select new options On this page, users can specify the ringtones they want to play for each contact They can also tap the link to return to the settings and change the default ringtone for the entire contact list However, this feature is not available to everyone; it appears to be a server-side upgrade

Google has been working since December 2023 to improve the means of assigning specific ringtones to users Initially, there was a ringtone option on the "Fix and Manage" tab, but over time most of the options disappeared and the menu itself was renamed, so it appears that the menu was still being created at the time It is still possible to manually add individual ringtones, but it is something of a pain

This update came shortly after the Google Pixel feature drop in March; one of the more requested features that Google faithfully provided was the extension of Circle to Search to both the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7a

Also, an update to the next generation call screen feature was made to help pause at the beginning of a conversation

These kinds of changes may go unnoticed by many, but they are genuinely better overall It shows that Google is consistently working to improve and streamline its menus to ensure that customers get the best experience possible
