I've been an avid Samsung user for many years, and just upgraded from the s24 ultra to the s25 ultra. The s25 is playing the same notification sound for every single app. For example, my WhatsApp, ring doorbell, text messages, Facebook, Gmail, etc all make the same alert sound and there's no way to make the app play their default sounds. I spoke with 2 different Samsung employees on chat and they both told me it was not possible and they have no record of notification issues. So, I proceed to drive to an authorized repair shop and they told me its a Samsung software issue and my best bet is to return the phone until Samsung fixes their issue. 

 
Anyone else having this issue? Any idea when a much needed software update will be released?
 
Do better Samsung!

once you've enabled the " Manage notification categories for each app" Setting by doing this: Settings > Advanced settings > Manage notification categories for each app (toggle On). Then you can go into each of your apps you want different sounds for. e.g.  change my text message sound: Settings > Apps > Messages > Notifications (click on it) > Notification Categories > Incoming messages > Sound (I can make it whatever I want)
