WhatsApp supports custom alerts, just like regular contact-specific text and call tones, so you can set custom notification sounds for specific contacts or groups to never miss their calls or messages again.
Here’s a quick guide to help you set custom notification sounds on Android and iPhone.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp app on your Android phone.
2. Go to the Contact’s Chat: Open the chat window with the contact whose notification sound you want to customize.
3. Tap on the Contact Name: You’ll see the contact’s name at the top of the chat window. Tap on it.
4. Select “Custom Notifications”: A menu will appear with various options. Look for “Custom notifications” or “Custom Sounds,” depending on your WhatsApp version. Tap on this option.
5. Choose a Sound: You will be presented with a list of sounds or ringtones available on your Android device. Select the sound you want to use for this contact’s notifications.
6. Apply the Change: Tap the “OK” or “Save” button to apply the custom notification sound to this contact.
Important Points:
• Contact-Specific: This method only changes the notification sound for that specific contact. Other WhatsApp notifications will remain unchanged.
• No Global Sound Change: There’s no option to change the default notification sound for all WhatsApp messages at once.
By customizing the notification sound for individual contacts, you can personalize your WhatsApp experience and easily differentiate messages from specific people.
Remember, if you’re looking for a more comprehensive notification sound customization, you might need to explore third-party apps. However, be cautious about permissions and prioritize security when using third-party apps.
