Can I set different notification Sounds for different Apps?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

You can set different notification sounds for different apps on your device. The process may vary slightly depending on your device, but I’ll walk you through the steps using a Samsung device as an example.

1. Start by accessing the Settings on your device. You can usually find the Settings app in your app drawer or by swiping down from the top of your screen and tapping the gear icon.

2. Once you’re in the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the “Apps” option. It may be labeled as “Applications” or “Application Manager” on some devices.

3. Tap on “Apps” to open the list of installed applications on your device.

4. In the list of apps, find the app for which you want to set a custom notification sound. This could be any app that sends you notifications, such as messaging apps, email apps, or social media apps.

5. Once you’ve located the app, tap on its name to open its app info page.

6. On the app info page, look for the “Notifications” option and tap on it. This will open the notification settings for that particular app.

7. In the notification settings, you should see a toggle button for “Show notifications.” Make sure this toggle button is turned on. If it’s already on, you can skip this step.

8. Now, look for the option to set a custom notification sound. The location of this option may vary depending on your device and the app you’re customizing. On a Samsung device, you’ll typically find it under the “Sound” or “Notification sound” section.

9. Tap on the notification sound option to open the list of available sounds. Depending on your device, you may be able to choose from a pre-installed selection of sounds or browse your device’s storage for custom sound files.

10. Select the notification sound you want to assign to this app. You can tap on different sounds to preview them before making a final selection.

11. Once you’ve chosen the desired notification sound, tap the “OK” or “Save” button to save your changes.

12. Repeat the above steps for any other apps for which you want to set a custom notification sound.

By following these steps, you can set different notification sounds for different apps on your device. This allows you to easily distinguish between different types of notifications based on their sound, making it more convenient to identify the app sending the notification.
