Apple Beta Releases

Hi all. Just curious if any new sounds might be coming. Only because I can't be the only one sick of hearing a phone ring and tapping the pocket, or looking around. Also on the same topic, has apple yet let third party apps change notification sounds? i'm looking at you twitter for instance. Just was slightly hopeful some minor thing might have changed.

Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Hi,
There are no new ringtones in iOS 16. Perhaps you should consider checking out the iTunes store on your device.
As for notification sounds, third party apps have been able to have their own sounds, if they so choose, for quite some time now. Messenger, for instance, has had their own sounds since the app launched years ago, as has Signal.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have been also wondering when Apple will change all its sounds, I can't remember but I think that the last time they did it, was on iOS 7, and never since then.
Also I find ridiculous that the sounds of the apple watch can't be personaliced but the hourly chimes, which only have 2 options, so it is horrible that all our watches keep sounding he same.

Take care.

It would indeed be cool to get more sounds, but if you go to System Preferences on the Mac you can change the interface sounds. I've done this and while all of them don't change, it's kinda cool. In addition, Weather Gods has its own notification sounds.
