    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.
    • Open your Android's Settings.
    • Tap Sounds and vibration .
    • Tap Ringtone or Phone ringtone . [1]
    • Depending on your Android, you'll now have to tap + or My Sounds to view the custom ringtones you've added. [2]
    • Select the ringtone you want to use.

    The Viber app looks like a white phone icon in a purple speech bubble.

    You'll need to set the downloaded ringtone as your Android's default ringtone first. Once you've done so, just go "More" > "Settings" > "Notifications" in Viber, select "Use system sounds," then choose "Default" as the ringtone.
