Individual app notifications

[WSimms]

With every update and every new generation of phones the customization gets less and less. Years ago the fact I could set individual notification sounds for people was gone. I now need to leave a million texts active to keep the individual sounds. Now the app sounds are gone for just the general. It's getting more and more like an iPhone which sucks! I liked how unique my phone could be vs another and that from across the room I know which app, email, person it chimed for. Now I am only hearing the general tone and it is disappointing. 

Bring back the unique notification ability for everything!

I totally get where you're coming from! I used to love setting custom notification sounds for different apps and contacts. It's a shame that feature has become less common. It was so helpful for knowing what kind of notification I was getting without even looking at my phone.

You actually still can change sounds for individual people in most apps. Google messages and WhatsApp support this. Outlook and Gmail should support it too with the right setting.

Right about not being able to set individual app sounds as far as I can tell, shame.

There's one thing though that I think was even better than indidual sounds. The little rgb LED on the front of the screen. You could set it to flash different colours based on who messaged you or what notifications there were.

You can still do that though. 🤨
Go to settings, then notifications settings, then app notifications, then notifications categories, then click on the category of notifications and change the sound.

If that isn't an option then you need to go to settings, notifications settings, then advanced settings then turn on message notification categories for each app

I did that and it still doesn't give the option to have a notification sound which then just makes it general. It was working with my flip 5 but the flip 6 it's gone. I've gone through all the apps individually and through the notification setting and it's gone.
