I have a brand new OnePlus 3T, I've changed the notification sounds on the Whatsapp App to my custom sounds. The problem is that whenever I recieve a message I get the default notification sound from the phone NOT the sound I have chosen for Whatsapp. Curiously enough this doesn't happen with messages from groups in Whatsapp, or in other e-mail or messaging apps.
I've tried other sounds, formats and folders and it won't work. For some reason the Default Notification Sound has more priority than the Whatsapp Notification Sound.
Since Whatsapp wouldn't work, I tried to change the Default Notification Sound so it will be the same as my Whataspp Notification Sound. BUT OnePlus 3T doesn't allow you to add new Notification sounds (You can add Ringtones and Alarms).
Help? Thanks!
It also happens with whatsapp Phone Calls. The ringtone is the Default Notification Tone (not even the Default Ringtone). And again, this doesn't happen with Group Chats (which makes this even weirder).
-FIXED-
There was an option to Reset Notification Settings inside Whatsapp, and then it worked. Apparently it was an issue with the Whatsapp Backup I did from my old Smartphone to the OnePlus 3T.

Just turn off the notification sounds via settings /sound /notification sound. That will apply to all notifications though, sms, whatsapp Etc.
This reminds me... Is there any good free app that will allow you to set individual tones for contacts and apps such as FB and other games that notify you when its your turn to play, etc?

You can change this setting per account without changing the system notification sound level. In the email account settings you can specify the notification bar alert, and the sound / vibrate. Set the sound to silent to mute any account.
I have changed my notification ringtone in both the Sound settings and the Personalize settings, and it still plays the default tone when I receive a text message, instead of the ringtone I have changed it to and applied. Any thoughts?
Go into the Messaging app, tap the 3-dot menu button & select Settings. Go into Notifications and under Notification sound, select the tone you want. If Default Notification is selected it uses the phone ringtone for calls. At least that's what mine is showing. I don't use the stock messaging app though so I never noticed which tone would actually play.

Kind regards, Stefan.
When I try to change sound for Text Messages, I am only able to change "notification" sound. But notifications include app notifications, emails and texts, they all have same sound. How can I set different sound specific to Text Messages only?
There's this odd bug where I have set custom notification tones and have whatsapp notification set to "silent / no vibrate", but each message that comes into whatsapp and other messengers still plays a loud notification chime each time a message comes in.
Anyone else facing this?
I use distinct notification sounds (as well as ringtones) for 5 of my contacts. Remaining all contacts use default notification sound and Ring tone. Every thing was working fine till yesterday when I changed the default notification sound and default ringtone of my device. After that the specific notification sounds were changed whereas the specific ringtones continued working fine.
PROBLEM : Now when I try setting distinct notification sound of any of those 5 contacts it changes the sound but set the same for all five contacts. The specific notification sound set latest for any of contact become the notification for all contacts with specific notification sounds. Contacts set for default notification sound keeps working as desired.
I searched for the problem on internet and as per the guidance I deleted the data of messages app. That did not delete my messages as claimed but reset notification sound of all contacts as default. However when I set the distinct notification sound for those 5 contacts the problem persisted as before ... that is ... The specific notification sound set latest for any of contact become the notification for all contacts with specific notification sounds. Contacts set for default notification sound keeps working as desired.
I have been using this feature on android phones for many years but never encountered such problem .... Please suggest a solution !
