How to Set a Text Tone on iPhone
Use short M4R files for alerts and assign them from iPhone sound settings after syncing or importing.
Pick short alerts
Text tones should be shorter than call ringtones. Message tones, notification sounds, and short ringtones are the best starting points.
Use M4R for iPhone
Open a ringtone page and choose the M4R option when the sound will be assigned on iPhone.
Preview first
Use the real audio preview so you can avoid sounds that are too loud, too long, or not suitable for message alerts.
