Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to assign a ringtone to a contact on your galaxy s20.

Before you proceed, make sure that your phone is set to ring mode, so that you can hear it play the selected ringtone before assigning it to a contact.

If you’re having trouble changing the ringtone to a specific contact, try to end all apps and services then reboot your phone. This should help clear and refresh the system and internal memory. After the phone reboots, open the Contacts app and retry changing the ringtone assigned to the contact.
