For anyone facing issues, make sure your device is updated. Sometimes, the feature may not work properly on outdated apps. Check for updates regularly.

Good point! I’ve noticed certain features only work after updates. Occasionally, it just needs a restart too!

Honestly, being able to identify who is messaging just by the sound makes life so much easier. I have my best friend’s text set to a loud duck quack! :joy:

That’s hilarious! I might need to try something similar for my reminders…maybe a car horn?

Are there any apps out there that offer more customization for notification sounds? I feel like I’m not utilizing all the options available!

You could try Zedge. It has a huge library of sounds and ringtones, plus you can create your own. It’s pretty fun!

Zedge is great, but don’t forget it can sometimes have ads. Still worth it for the options!

I totally agree! I’ve had issues where the setting just doesn’t seem to save. Has anyone else faced this?

You also need to check if Do Not Disturb is turned on! It can mute all notification sounds regardless of your settings.

Thanks for the tip, mwilkins! I find it amusing how many people forget about that – especially when they’re in meetings!

Another common issue is custom ringtones not appearing. Sometimes, you need to restart your phone after setting a new tone for it to work.

What about notification sound volume? Sometimes it’s set too low. Sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many overlook it.
