How to Change Text notification sound

Mikey31 — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 03:48:34 GMT

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to change the Message notification sound. I've found many articles and forum messages that describe how to change the setting but apparently they have recently changed things as the options are not what is described.

I have found how to change the notification sound for a conversation which works but I want to set change the default message notification sound.

Open Settings app

Tap Sounds and Vibration

See my screenshot for the different Notification settings for sound and Vibration ... I've highlighted

S21 Unlocked on A12.4 BULH update with Jan 1 Security patch

Same problem. Mrs-Cay, the screenshot only applies to notification sounds, it does not change the text message sound. For me, the notification sound works as intended and plays the correct "icq" sound, but text messages still make an annoying pewpewpew lazer sound.

Mrs-Cay, that does not change incoming text notification sound.

I wonder if it carrier or version related. I'm using AT&T, Android 12 and Messages version 13.0.10.81

It's deeply buried:

Settings > Notifications > More (under Recently Sent) > Messages > Notification Categories > New Message > Sound

It's like they really don't want you to set a custom sound to the system text message app, but setting a custom txt msg sound to a specific contact is super easy and intuitive. Makes zero sense.

Thanks so much, I just don't understand why they would hide this feature commonly used feature so well now.

Has anyone figured out how to change the sound for the fold3? Mine is still not working, and it's stuck on the squeeze sound I previously changed it to. I suspect they removed the sound change during some update because I used to be able to make changes very easily. I'm very annoyed, and no one seems to be able to help me. I contacted Tmobile customer service/tech support. They were no help.

I finally found it! I have the flip 3, hopefully the procedure is the same for you.
Go to settings
>apps
>messages
>notifications
>notification categories (this is what I could not figure out)
>new messages
>sound
And there it is! I hope this works for you.
