Mobile notifications have become something to live with if we are not one of those who have the mobile always in silence or in vibration mode. These alerts that we usually receive when someone sends us a WhatsApp message, we receive an email or we have another different news on the mobile can be customized to have a different sound in each notification and thus be able to differentiate them with the sound.
Although this option has been available with us since Android 8.0, few users take advantage of it to this day. It is true that any smartphone regardless of the customization layer can enjoy this option, although the process is somewhat hidden and it is difficult for us to get there without some instructions that we are going to provide.
Steps to change the sound of each notification on Android
Before starting the process we must know that these alerts can be changed in each of the apps and more specifically in each different notification of each application , the most complicated steps are in the latter where there are several alerts that cannot arrive from one same app. So that you can follow our steps, we are going to do it by showing you the options that appear on WhatsApp, although they will be similar in others.
- First we access the mobile Settings.
- We move to the section where it says Applications.
- Then we choose the app where we want to modify its notifications to differentiate them.
- And we touch on the option where it says “Notification”.
- This will give way to several different options that will change according to each app, we can choose any of them.
- When entering it we will see that we can choose the default sound of the system or put it on silence, but we will go further.
- At the bottom we have a panel where it says “Advanced” and we will enter it.
Now that we have accessed the advanced sound options in Android, we have at our disposal a series of options that allow us to eliminate only the vibration of this type of alerts, show or not show this on the screen and also choose the different sound in Android that we prefer.
As you can see in the images, we would only have to touch on “Sound” and all the melodies available on our smartphone will appear, which will change according to the model, brand and version of Android. In this way, each time that specific notification reaches us, it will finally be recognizable and differentiating it from the others will be instantaneous.
