Customizing Sound, Vibration, and Ringtone Settings on Android

One of the great advantages of Android devices is the ability to customize various settings, including sound, vibration, and ringtone preferences. This guide will walk you through the process of customizing these settings on your Android device.

  • Scroll down the list of options and tap on "Sound" or "Sound & vibration" to access the sound settings.

Step 2: Adjust Sound Settings

  • Once you're in the sound settings, you'll find various options to customize your device's sound preferences.
