notification they receive on their phone. For example, using a different notification tone for Messages and Mail helps s identify which app they've received an alert from without even looking at their phone.
On iPhone, a can customize notification sounds like text message tones, calendar alarms, and voicemail alerts. s can also change notification tones for Apple-specific apps like FaceTime and Mail. However, s can't choose custom notification sounds for most third-party apps, which means the default notification sound is the only option they have for non-Apple apps. Most third-party apps just use the iPhone's default alert tone, while some have their own tones built into the apps. s can, however, turn their notification sound on or off for third-party apps as needed.
Set Custom Notification Sounds On iPhone
To set a custom notification sound, go to Settings and tap on 'Sound & Haptics.' Under 'Sounds and Vibration Patterns,' select the type of notification that needs to be changed. From the menu, choose the sound that needs to be set as the notification sound. Once an option is chosen, s will see a blue check mark next to it. This method enables s to customize ringtones for incoming calls, as well as notification sounds for texts, voicemails, emails, calendar alerts, reminders, and more. s can also tap on 'Tone Store' to buy a ringtone and use that instead of the available options.
To disable notification sounds for third-party apps, open Settings, tap on 'Notifications' and then select the target app. If sound notifications are available for the app, it will have a toggle switch for 'Sounds' that just requires toggling on or off for the desired result. Meanwhile, Apple's own apps, such as FaceTime, Mail, and Messages allow s to set their own custom notification sounds. To do this, choose the target app under 'Notifications' in Settings. From here, tap on 'Sounds' under 'Alerts' and then select the notification sound from the available options.
iPhone s can also change text message tones and ringtones for specific s. To do this, open the s app and select a from the list. Tap on 'Edit' in the top right corner, and then tap 'Ringtone' or 'Text Tone' to change the tone from the available options.
Change App Notification Sounds On iPhone
Apple doesn't let s change the notification sound for third-party apps on iPhone, but there is a workaround for some of them. This mostly applies to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, and Slack. These apps have their own notification tones, and s can change the sounds by going into the settings of the individual apps.
For example, to change the notification sound on WhatsApp, open the app, tap 'Settings' and then 'Notifications.' Tap 'Sounds,' and select a sound from the list. When done, tap 'Save.' WhatsApp lets s choose between different notification sounds for messages or groups, and even allows different notification sounds for specific s. To change the notification sound on Telegram, go to Settings and tap 'Notifications and Sounds.' From here, s can change the sound for private chats, group chats, or channels.
On Facebook Messenger, tap the profile icon in the top-left corner and tap 'Notifications and sounds.' Tap 'Text tone' and select a sound from the list. Changing the notification tone on Slack is similar. Tap the 'You' tab at the bottom of the screen, tap 'Notifications,' then 'Sound,' and choose a preferred tone. Not all third-party apps offer this feature, but if s want to change notification sounds for a specific app on iPhone, it's worth digging into the app's settings to see if there's an available option.
How To Change Notification Volume On iPhone
After a has chosen their preferred notification sound, they might want to set a particular volume for alerts. While the iPhone automatically changes the notification volume when s press the volume up or down buttons, there's also a way to set the volume so that it doesn't change when the buttons are pressed.
To do this, open Settings, go to 'Sounds & Haptics' and then adjust the slider under 'Ringtone and Alert Volume.' As s drag the slider, the default ringtone will play, giving them an indication of what the volume will be. Once done, s should make sure that the 'Change With Buttons' toggle is turned off. This will prevent the volume buttons from adjusting the volume of the notification sounds. However, if s put their iPhone on silent mode, notifications will continue to be silenced until the mode is turned off.
