Hi nae254,

Sorry I'm not sure whether you want to:

(1) give "how to" tips yourself,

or

(2) whether you want to receive tips, so you can add a paricular ringtone to your Messages app

or again,

(3) whether you want to request Apple to introduce longer message tones.

_____

For (1) To give "how-to" tips yourself:

Apple Support's article: How to write User Tips - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"User Tips are informative tips and tricks created and maintained by community members to help others with their Apple products and services. When you get to Level 5 in the Apple Support Community, you can write new User Tips."

_____

For (2) If you want to to receive tips, so you can add a particular 20 sec ringtone to your Messages app

As much as we'd like to help: we don't know which device, or Mac, you are using in order to help:

Eg: For iPhone:

View this YouTube video from Apple Support to add a ringtone up to 30 secs long for when you get a text.

"How to create a custom ringtone on your iPhone | Apple Support"

For (3)

If making a feature request to those who work on the Messages software, behind-the-scenes at Apple may help.

If you are sure the feature isn't already in use for your device or computer, you can use the web-form below:

Web-form for iPhone or iPad: Feedback - Messages - Apple

Web-form for Mac: Feedback - Messages - Apple


Hope one of these options helps you find the answer you seek, else: please let us know, if you still need help.

Cheers :-)
