Android Authority published a blog post today (April 16) revealing that by analyzing the Android Canary 2604 code, the Android system may natively support differentiated ringtones for dual SIM cards.
According to a blog post cited by Converseer, Google continues to optimize the dual-SIM Android experience. After launching a signal strength display in 2025, Google is expected to natively support setting different ringtones for different SIM cards.
Manufacturers including Motorola have already provided independent ringtone settings for SIM cards in their own systems, but the native Android system has always lacked this feature. As a result, when using dual SIM cards, native system users cannot distinguish the lines by ringtone and can only rely on the screen display to make a judgment.
In Android Canary version 2604, the media outlet discovered the title strings “unique ringtone for a specific SIM card” and “Ringtone,” explicitly mentioning that SIM card ringtones can be set independently.
This feature is expected to cover both eSIM and physical SIM cards, adapting to current mainstream dual-SIM solutions. The release date for this native feature is currently unknown, but it is estimated to be implemented as early as Android 17.
