HELP: How do I restore the default app-provided notification sounds for specific apps?

[Spekii]

So a bit of context first: I just bought the S24+ today and I finally finished up transferring all the data from my old phone (S20 FE 4G) via Smart Switch, so far I'm loving the phone and all of its premium features. I just have one somewhat major concern though; all my apps have the exact same notification sound. On my S20 FE, apps like Snapchat, Discord, Messenger, Shopee, Life360, etc. all had unique app-provided notification sounds, however, my S24+ doesn't seem to have this anymore. I've tried exploring Notifications in Settings and I found out that I am able to change the notification sound, yes, but there is no "app-provided sound" option.

I was just wondering if there was a fix to this because this does cause a slight inconvenience for me, I now have to constantly check my phone to see which app the notification came from.

Cheers!

Have you turned on this setting?

You can then go into each apps notification settings in more depth in the Notification Categories menu

If the app says apps provided sound then you can't change that as it's set by the app developers for that app, not like most of the other apps you use in which you can change the sounds to your liking.

I have managed to change the notification sound for my Calender app but when it activates, i also get the default notification too! Worked fine on my old S10e phone

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Hello. Unfortunately, the only way was to reinstall each app manually. Slightly inconvenient, but it fixed my concern. Hope this helps.
