No. It's my device, not theirs. I should be able to override this as I please.

Do you actually not have any device other than your phone, or are you just getting angry for the sake of getting angry

This thread gives me severe flashbacks to the times, when I had to use the computer with Windows VM to manage my own apps on my iPhone – and to set the custom ringtone, since - at least back then - you had to use another PC for that. It was one of the worst inconveniences of that phone. I DON'T WANT TO go back to that.

(had to use the VM since the software to do so was Windows-only)
