Can I set custom sound App notifications on my S25 Ultra? I was able to set a custom sound on my old phone Note 20 Ultra, for instance, I can tell if my garage is opening, and I can tell if my front door is opening by the sound I set.

The first thing you need to do is go to Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings > toggle on Manage Notifications Categories For Each App once you have done that go to each app you want to change the Notification Sound and tap Notifications > Notifications Categories 1740027118951.jpg1740027118963.jpg1740027118974.jpg1740027118984.jpg

I do not see those categories in the Smart Things settings but also do not use that app at all and I only turned it on to see those choice you provided. So those toggle categories may show because of your connected devices. My experience with making sub choices from any category found, would have this displayed as showing that it can be opened as a separate setting. If the category has a toggle, then it will have a line before the toggle switch. Otherwise, the only action that can be done is to toggle the setting. It appears like this.

Thanks for this, very concise.

If it helps anyone else, I did the same thing with the notification settings for my messages app, and several others, not just this one. Tapping the text was throwing me off, since I've just done a big upgrade and the UI has changed a bunch, that wasn't clicking in my head, especially at 4am.

You need to go into the app notification options to change it. See above for example. 1740040809750.jpg1740040809762.jpg1740040809775.jpg

Try this, just touch and hold any app you want changed for notification sounds until you get an applet popup. Let go and then click on the tiny circle with an "i" in it at the top right of the applet. Now you should be in the properties of the app. Click on notifications/notification categories

Now some apps will have multiple choice to what you want to hear while some only have one sound to make and you can choose from the example I showed here. TYhe choose the sound you want

Now as far a "custom", I have to ask, do you want your own sound or just a choice from what can be picked natively form the device and the installed apps?
