(Facebook Tests New Ringback Tones for Calls)
Facebook is trying something new. The company is testing ringback tones for calls made through its apps. This feature lets people pick music or sounds others hear while waiting for their call to connect. The test is happening now. It involves some users in the United States.
Users in the test see an option. They can choose a song or sound clip. This plays for the person they are calling. The caller hears it instead of the standard ringing sound. Facebook provides a library of sounds. Users pick from this library. They can also upload their own short audio clips. This personalizes the calling experience.
The test is small initially. Only some Facebook Messenger users in the US have access. Facebook wants feedback. They will watch how people use the feature. They will see if users like it. This helps decide if it launches globally. A wider release depends on the test results.
Users control their ringback tone. They set it in the Messenger app settings. They choose a default sound. They can also set specific tones for specific contacts. The person making the call does not need the feature enabled. They hear the chosen tone regardless. Facebook says this adds fun and personality to calls. It makes waiting more enjoyable. The company wants calls to feel more expressive.
