Why do you want this feature?

What do you exactly mean?

Having an ability to set different notification sounds for MMS and SMS messages? (as per Why do you want this feature)
Having an ability to set different notification sounds for different conversations? (as per Feature description)
Having an ability to generally change notification sound? (as per Title)

russell-phillips commented 4 months ago

Apologies for not being clearer. I just want to be able to generally change the notification sound.

Aga-C commented 4 months ago

What Android version are you using? Because this function already exists, but requires at least Android 8.

russell-phillips commented 4 months ago

Android 12, but I couldn't see anything in settings to set notification sound.

Here's how:

Open a conversation
Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
Tap on Conversation details option
Tap on Enable custom notifications
Click Customize notifications to customize notification sound (among other things) for the selected conversation.

Thanks, but that's per contact. Is there no way to change the notification sound for all messages? That's what I'm wanting.

naveensingh commented 4 months ago

Go to App settings -> Customize notifications -> Received SMS -> Sound

russell-phillips commented 4 months ago

App settings -> Customize notifications takes me to this screen. Screenshot_20240217-130556_Settings

On Samsung phones, you have to click on Notification categories to find the notification channels used by an app. You'll find Received SMS in there.

Got it! Thank you for your patience :)
