Do you want to set a custom ringtone for your incoming Viber calls? When you configure Viber to use your Android's system sounds, you can easily select any built-in ringtone from your Android to use for Viber calls. If you'd rather use a ringtone you've downloaded or created, you'll need to set the custom ringtone as your Android's main ringtone first. This wikiHow article will teach you how to change the ringtone sound for Viber on your Android.
Steps
-
1Set a custom ringtone as your Android's default ringtone (optional). You can skip this step if you want to use one of the built-in ringtones that came with your Android as your Viber ringtone. But if you want to use a song or tone you've downloaded or created, you'll need to make that sound your Android's default ringtone first.

2Open the Viber app on your Android. The Viber app looks like a white phone icon in a purple speech bubble.
