If you’re using a OnePlus phone, you can disable sound notifications by going into ‘Messages’ settings and toggling the sound option. Super easy!
Great info! Do you think these steps apply for tablet users as well? Mine’s a Samsung tablet.
Yes, it should! Most tablets run similar Android settings. Just make sure to check under the specific app settings for messages.
Another tip: you can also mute your text conversation directly if you want total silence for a specific chat! Just long-press the chat and look for ‘Mute.’
That’s a game changer! I had no idea about that feature. Thanks for sharing!
Just as a heads-up, on some devices, if you turn off the sound, it may also disable other notifications. So, check if you still want those alerts.

Why do they make this process so complicated? Shouldn’t it be a straightforward process?
I totally agree! Sometimes I wonder if tech companies complicate things just for fun!

A little humor goes a long way! But really, once you familiarize yourself with your device, it gets easier. Stepping back and looking at the big picture helps a lot.
To turn off sounds for sending texts, go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Notification sounds. You can customize or disable it there.
You can also use the Do Not Disturb mode during specific hours to silence notifications altogether!
Has anyone tried using third-party apps? Some offer really detailed sound settings that can help customize your experience.
I have! I use an app called ‘Sound Assistant’ which is great for managing notification sounds.
Using the Do Not Disturb feature is a lifesaver! I set mine to only allow calls from family during certain hours.

That’s smart! I might start doing that in the evenings to focus more.

It’s important to manage how you receive notifications to avoid distractions! Have you considered custom vibration patterns instead?
That’s a great idea! Custom vibrations could help me still feel notifications without the sound.
I don’t mind the sound but if you really want silence, you can always switch to silent mode too!
