Do you have important contacts that you don’t want to miss, even when your Android phone is on silent mode? Luckily, there’s a way to ensure that specific contacts still ring through. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set certain contacts to ring on silent Android.

Step 1: Open Contacts

The first step is to open your contacts app. You can typically find this app on your home screen or in the app drawer. Once you’ve opened your contacts app, find the contact that you want to set to ring on silent mode.

Once you’ve found the contact, tap on their name to open their contact details. Then, tap on the edit icon (usually a pencil or a person with a plus sign) to edit the contact’s information.

Step 3: Add Custom Ringtone

Scroll down until you see the “Ringtone” option. Tap on this option to open your phone’s ringtone settings. Here, you can choose a custom ringtone for this specific contact. Select a ringtone that will catch your attention even when your phone is on silent mode.

Step 4: Save Changes

Once you’ve selected a custom ringtone, tap on “Save” or “Done” to save your changes. This contact will now have a unique ringtone that will play even when your phone is on silent mode.

Lastly, make sure to check your phone’s volume settings to ensure that your ringtone is audible even when your phone is on silent mode. You can adjust your volume settings by pressing the volume buttons on the side of your phone.
