Isn't that for the ring tone when they call?

Yes, and I believe that is the only option on stock. I checked in messenger settings and don't see any option for changing contact specific notifications. This may be an option in 3rd party messenger apps though.

In Messenger - Open a current SMS thread with the contact you want to change > click 3 dot menu > select "People & options" > change notification sound under General. You can also change the color of the conversation for that contact by clicking the color icon next to their name. These changes remain even if you delete the current thread with that contact.
I haven't found a way to change notifications for GMail.

I saw that option and didn't know if that was for specific contact or system wide. Thank you!

If you want to add your own message alert tones then add the sound you want in a wav format to the Windows folder on your device, then go to change the alert tone as usual and it should come up in the drop-down list

Found the fix!
Go to menu/Personalize/Personalize sound/Notification sound/Email
From there you can set your default/Message/Calendar/Email sounds.
I just tested it with the email notification sound and it works.
is this in the default email app? because I'm not finding the personalization bit.
This may work
Tap the menu button. Select Personalize. Under Personalize Sound, tap Notification Sound. Tap Email. The list shows sound you can choose. There is a dropdown at the top yo get more sounds.
ah ok, its in htc sense launcher. I was using ADW. Doesn't have an option for gmail, but I didn't mean to threadjack this thread anyway.

Yes, just save the new ones you download in the Notification folder in your internal memory then they will show in the settings list.

To have a different text message sound, you need to go into the messages app, and at the conversations list, tap the " . . . " in the upper-right corner, go to Settings and tap the first option to choose a different text message notification sound.
Fyi I always have to reboot after I put new tones in either Notifications or Ringtones Folders before the new tones will actually show up in you're selection menus.
Anybody else?

You can use File Commander instead of the sound picker, there your new sounds will show up for sure.

You need to change it in the settings of the email app.

Thanks. Tried that too, but it is not giving me an option to set a notification sound in the email settings list.
Here is how to do what you want:
- Go to the main "Settings" app
- Tap "Email" under the Accounts section
- Tap "Account settings"
- Tap the account name you wish to set the notification sound for
- Tap the word "Notification" (make sure the slide switch on the right is set "On" first)
- Tap "Select ringtone" to pick a tone
- Select the one you want and tap the "Done" button.
NOTE: these are for email accounts you use with the Email app. The Gmail app works differently - you change Gmail's notification tone using Gmail's Settings menu from within the app itself.

In the Outlook app, go to Settings > General > Notifications > Email Notifications > Tap the header "Audio Notification", it will now let you pick a sound!

custom notification for Gmail in OnePlus 3T Orio, Android 8.0 OxygenOs5.0 Won't work

Tried adding a custom notification to Gmail.
Went the usual way: Settings > Sounds > "Ringtone for messages designated as Default" > local ringtones
The list of available tones on the phone comes up, but when i choose the one I want it wont sound, will appear as "chosen" but wont ring when mail comes in.
Red the threads, turned notification into .ogg, put it in same directory where all the notifications are, set -rw-r-r, and rebooted. now it shows on the list, sound when i choose it yet when Gmail gets a new mail the system will use another notification from the default list.
Any ideas ?
Have a look at Settings> Notifications> Gmail.

When i do that and reach gmail >press "gmail" logo on top> app info> battery> (bottom of scree) battery optimization > text in GRAY "doing optimization to battery" but tapping on the gray text has no reaction.
on the other hand "Gmail" does not appear on the optimization list on settings> battery> battery optimization

See screenshot for where you should be. Then tap on Email and select the sound you want.

Thank you for swift response.
Checked my phone (BtW it's the Hebrew version for Israel) and i have the exact same options marked but the vibration option which i allowed on my phone.
But, when a mail comes in to Gmail the phone chooses a different notification (other then my custom one) and ignores my previous setting

Individual per app notification sound

Hello!
I just went from an s8+ to s10+ (1tb if that mathers), i now only have one kind of notification sound for everything, on the s8, snapchat and facebook messenger had other sounds to tell them apart, now everyting just sounds the same...
Is there a way to change sound per app notification? I can't seem to find that setting..
Each notification sound is set inside each app. Or you can just go Settings > Notifications > click "show all" and change the dropdown menu to "All".
You can clikc on any app, and if it has a notification sound setting, you can change it in there too.
Step 1) Navigate: settings>>notifications>>see all>>appYouWant
Step 2) You'll see a list called categories with toggle switches with names like "General Notification" click on these, you can set individual tones in here.
