Can no longer change Text notification sound

[exceptional37]

I have always been able to go to my settings in messenger and change the notification sound for my text messages until recently. I now have one notification for most apps. I've looked to see if it was moved haven't found the settings. Can anyone help or is this the results of the new update?

Open phone settings and toggle on this new option
Phone settings
Notification
Advanced Settings
Manage Notification categories for each app
Now you can change the notification sounds

Omg, thank you!

Your welcome I'm not sure why they decided to add that toggle

I still can't change the text sound. I've followed all of your instructions to a T. Can you please help?

Hi. I don't see "manage notification categories for each app" in the list on the screen you show. Any ideas?

Thanks so much. I was wondering why my blink camera, text, and other apps were using the same notification sound. I was going crazy searching around.  You relieved so much anxiety. Lol 🤣

Thanks from me, too! I just switched from message plus to Samsung and it has the same sound as our ring. I could NOT figure out how to change it for the life of me!

Edit (for Samsung or Google or whatever is the new one):
Little figure icon in the top right corner
Messages settings
Notifications
Notification Categories
INCOMING MESSAGES
And then it's under 'Sound'




I figured it out! Got help from remote.

In Messages app, then the three dots, go to Settings.

Notifications
Notification Categories
Tap General Notifications (not just sliding the bar, it actually opens something)
Sound
