iPhone Custom Text Message Alert Sounds Come to iOS 5

[Geek]

<div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/custom-iphone-text-tone.jpg" alt="Custom iPhone Text Tone" title="custom-iphone-text-tone" width="225" height="338" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18570" /> <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ios-5/">iOS 5</a> will finally bring iPhone users the ability to customize their text message alert sounds. Yes, customize, as in your own user created text tones the same way the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/04/make-free-iphone-ringtones-in-itunes-10/">ringtone maker in iTunes 10</a> works. You’ll no longer be forced to select from the limited Apple default offerings or hear the barrage of Tri-Tone ever again, the world of audio is open to SMS alerts.</p>

<p>This may seem like a relatively minor feature, but it’s been long anticipated and highly desired by nearly everyone with an iPhone. Yet another reason for <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/11/ios-5-beta-3-download/">developers to download iOS 5 beta 3 now</a> and for the rest of the world to be excited about the public <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/06/ios-5-release-date-fall-2011/">fall release of iOS 5</a>… just a few more months away.</p>

<p>Customized text tones were discovered in Beta 3 by <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/11/with-ios-5-beta-3-the-iphone-finally-gets-custom-text-message-alert-sounds/">TechCrunch</a>, whose picture shows a generic custom .m4r ringtone file set as a text tone. Prior to this version of iOS 5, users were forced to use jailbreak tweaks to access custom SMS alert sounds.</p>
