How to Set Different Ringtones for Different SIMs in Pixel

In this guide, we will show you the steps to set different ringtones for different SIM cards on your Pixel device. When I jumped ships from OnePlus to Pixel, there was a truckload of things that immediately caught my attention, Unfortunately, not all of them were for the right reasons. While the clean stock OS experience with Pixel goodies was definitely worthy of praise, there were small pieces of the jigsaw still missing.

Among them, the most troublesome was the inability to set different ringtones for different SIM cards on my Pixel device. I use two different SIMs, one for personal and the other for work purposes, and assign different ringtones to each. As a result, whenever the phone rings, I can easily identify whether it’s from work or family and then depending on the situation, could decide whether to accept that call or decline it.

So the inability to carry out this task resulted in a great deal of inconvenience. Fortunately, we did manage to find out a nifty workaround using which you could get this job done. So without further ado, let’s check it out.

In order to carry out this task, we will be using the popular automation app Automator [haven’t tested out with Tasker yet]. So download and install it from Play Store. Then launch it and you will have to create a new flow that will wait for an incoming call, determine the called sim card, and depending on that, it will set the ringtone accordingly. You could refer to the below flow for reference.

  • Christian 2 years ago Reply This is not working as planned for me. The Ringtone changes after someone called me. So the next call will have the Ringtone from that Sim Card which was called last. Can i change this so the Ringtone will be Set before it plays ?

  • Eran 2 years ago Reply It’s a shocker that Google Pixel does not have this feature native, since Pixel 1. Let’s hope that Google implements it in Android 14!
