For a very long time, Apple hasn’t provided a way to change the notification sound on iPhones. But this has changed with the new iOS 17.2 update. Apple has added a new setting that allows you to change the default notification sound on your iPhone. Let’s dive in and learn how to customize the alert sounds on your iPhone.
Having the same iPhone notification sound as others can be confusing. So, we will share how to change the sounds and vibrations for all alerts on your iPhone in this guide. Let’s start.
Change the Default Notification Sound on iPhone
Checking your iPhone every time you hear a notification sound and finding out later that it is not yours can be irritating. So, here’s how to choose a pre-installed notification sound on your iPhone.
Step 1: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Tap Default Alerts.
Step 3: Now, tap and select a tone of your choice.
Step 4: Once done, tap Back to go to the Settings.
Tip: Tap Classic to choose from an older set of tones.
Turn Vibrations On/off for Notifications on iPhone
Earlier, if you allowed an app to send notifications, vibrations were turned on by default. However, on iOS 17.2 and later, Apple lets you customize vibrations along with the default notification tone. Here are the simple steps to take.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and tap Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Tap Default Alerts.
Step 3: Tap Haptics.
Step 4: Tap and select None.
Step 5: Now, tap the back button to go back. And that’s it.
How to Change Other Notification Sounds on iPhone
Apart from the default notification sounds, there are other customizable notification sounds on your iPhone, too. This includes text tone, voicemail tone, reminder alert tone, etc. And Apple also lets you change those easily from the Settings app. The process is extremely easy. Let’s look at the simple steps.
Change Ringtone or Text Tone
Step 1: Launch the Settings app and go to Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Tap Ringtone or the Text Tone option.
Step 3: Scroll and select a tone of your choice, and tap Back. And that’s it.
Change New Voicemail Alerts Tone
Voicemails on iPhone is an excellent feature. And whenever you receive a voicemail, your iPhone also notifies you. If you don’t like the default voicemail alerts, here are the steps to change that.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and tap Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Tap New Voicemail.
Step 3: Select a different tone for voicemail and hit Back.
Change Calendar or Reminder Alerts Tone
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Sounds & Haptics.
Step 2: Tap Calendar Alerts or Reminder Alerts.
Step 3: Select a tone of your choice.
Tip: You can also turn the haptics on or off from here.
Step 4: Tap Back to save the selected tone and go to Settings.
Change New Mail Alerts Tone
Unlike all the other notification tones on iPhone, the settings to change the notification sounds for emails are buried deep into the notifications settings. Let’s look at the steps.
Tip: You can also change the mail tone from the Sounds & Haptics settings, but that won’t allow you to set different tones for different email accounts on your iPhone.
Step 1: Launch the Settings app and tap Notifications.
Step 2: Scroll and tap Mail.
Step 3: Again, scroll down and tap Customize Notifications.
Step 4: Select the email account you wish to change the notification sound for.
Step 5: Tap Sounds.
Note: If the Alerts toggle is off, the Sounds option won’t appear.
Step 6: Tap and select a tone and hit the back button. That’s it.
