After WhatsApp’s failure to force people to accept its policy, many users switched from WhatsApp to Telegram. In addition, WhatsApp has a lot to do with Telegram in terms of features and functionality. One of them is the ability to use custom notification sounds in Telegram.
You may want to keep different notification tones for your friends and groups – mainly to know which ones are important. This tutorial will show you how to add custom notification sounds on Telegram. Unfortunately, this feature does not work for the Telegram Web client.
Add custom notification sounds to Telegram on iPhone
iPhone users can easily add custom notification sounds. Before that, you need to add Private Chat, Group Chat and Channels to the Exceptions list. However, Telegram gives you the option to add a custom notification sound for every contact.
To use custom sounds, your iPhone needs to be running the Telegram app v8.7 or later to see the options. You can update the Telegram App from the Apple App Store. Then follow these steps.
Step 1: Open Telegram app.
Step 2: Select a contact to set up a custom sound.
Step 3: Click on the contact name to display more details.
Step 4: Click the Mute icon.
Step 5: From the list of options, select Custom.
Step 6: Click Upload Audio.
iCloud Drive will open on your screen.
Step 7: Select the folder containing the custom sound.
Your audio will be stored by default in the Downloads folder. Therefore, we are selecting that folder.
Step 8: Select the audio file.
The audio file will be added to Telegram Tones.
Step 9: Select that file again to choose as notification sound.
You have successfully added a new notification sound. Alternatively, iPhone users can also access Google Drive, OneDrive, or the Downloads folder to upload audio files. Follow these steps.
Step 1: Once the iCloud folder opens on your screen, tap Browse.
You’ll see the file locations in the Browse menu. You can tap Download in the Favorites option.
Step 2: Tap the three dots.
Step 3: Select the Edit option.
Step 4: Click the toggle to enable Google Drive or OneDrive.
In our case we are activating Google Drive.
Step 5: Tap your selected folder location again.
Step 6: Click Open Google Drive.
You can select one or as many sound files as you like and set the notification tone.
Add custom notification sounds in Telegram on Android
Even Android users can set custom tones for their Telegram contacts. However, you will need to update your Telegram app to the latest version (at least v8.6 or higher) from the Play Store. Here are the steps to add custom sounds.
Step 1: Open Telegram app.
Step 2: Select the contact and tap on the contact name to display more details.
Step 3: Tap Notifications.
Step 4: Select Customize from the pop-up menu.
Step 5: Tap the toggle to Enable Custom Notifications.

You can choose to add sounds from Internal Storage or choose from tones provided by Telegram. You will also be shown recently used files.
Step 8: Select the tone of your choice and click the blue arrow to confirm.
Step 9: Once your sound is added, tap on it to use it for notifications.
You can also choose to customize the vibration level of the notification for that particular contact. This is a feature that seems to be missing from the iOS app.
Add custom notification sounds in Telegram on Windows
The Telegram for Windows apps will also allow you to specify custom notification sounds for contacts. You can download the app from Telegram official website or Microsoft Store for Windows.
Here’s how you can upload audio files using Windows apps.

Telegram will assign a custom notification sound to the contact. You can select files from any folder in your system.
Add custom notification sounds in Telegram on macOS
After the latest Telegram (v8.7) app update, even macOS users can use custom notification sounds. Unfortunately, it is not possible to set it up for individual contacts or chats. Before continuing, update the Telegram app for macOS.
Step 1: Open the Telegram app on your Mac.
Step 2: Click on the gear-shaped Settings icon in the bottom right corner of the application.
Step 3: When the Settings menu opens, select Notifications and Sounds.
Step 4: Click Notification tone.
Step 5: Click Upload Style. That will open the Downloads folder on your Mac by default.
Step 6: Select the audio file and click the Open button. Audio file size is limited to 300kb.
Step 7: Select the uploaded sound file as the notification sound.
Use custom notification sounds on Telegram
That’s how you can add custom notification sounds on Telegram. This feature is a great addition for proficient users who rely on Telegram to stay connected with friends and other like-minded groups. Plus, keeping a custom tone helps you keep an eye on specific notifications that are important and you don’t want to miss.
