ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ringtone

Have you ever heard your phone make a sound when someone calls you? That sound is called a ringtone! It's like a song or a beep that your phone makes so that you know someone is trying to call you.

Ringtone is like a special sound that you can pick for your phone to make when someone calls you. Just like how you can choose your favorite color for your shirt or your favorite food for dinner, you can also choose the sound that you want your phone to make. Some people like to use a song as their ringtone because it's more fun and exciting, while others prefer a simple beep or a buzz because it's easier to hear.

Once you choose your ringtone, your phone will make that sound every time someone tries to call you. So next time you hear your phone go "bing-bong" or "beep-beep," you know that someone is trying to talk to you!
