The iPhone’s default ringtone has become an iconic sound, but in iOS 26 Apple has a brand new ringtone option available as an alternative for users. Here’s what is sounds like.
New iOS 26 ringtone available as alternative to default
Yesterday Apple released the first iOS 26 public beta, bringing the latest version of the forthcoming iPhone software update to many more users.
Headliner features include:
iOS 26 also includes the Phone app’s biggest redesign ever.
And accompanying that new look, iOS 26 adds a brand new ringtone for your iPhone.
Accessible from the ringtone section inside the Settings app, you can now choose an ‘Alt 1’ version of the default Reflection ringtone.
Just go to Settings ⇾ Sounds & Haptics ⇾ Ringtone ⇾ Reflection to find it.
It’s possible the name is only a placeholder, and will get revised before iOS 26 ships to all users this fall.
Apple might also end up making this the new default, though for now you have to manually switch to it.
In any case, if you want to get a sneak peek at the new ringtone, you can listen to it below.
