iOS: Change notification sound for apps
Several apps mean different messages on the iPhone - but the notification tone often remains the same for the iOS apps. If you change the tone, you can already distinguish between important and unimportant messages in terms of sound.
iPhone, iPad, iPod: change sounds for iOS messages
Note: The notification tones can only be changed for the preinstalled Apple applications. Sounds from other apps are always determined by the developer, but in some cases can be changed directly in the app. For example, you can change the WhatsApp tones on the iPhone.
- First, open the "Settings" app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
- You will now find all installed apps under the "Messages" category. Select a standard app from the list for which you want to change the sound.
- If the sound can be changed, you can select the "Tones" item here and choose a different sound.
- If you can only switch the "Tones" option on and off, no change is possible. However, there are other sound settings under iOS:
- To do this, go back to the main menu of the settings and find the "Sounds" category a little further down.
- In addition to the ringtone and SMS tone, you will also find the selected sounds for emails and calendar notifications.
