Changing notification sounds for some apps

Hello all:

I know that we did not have a solution for this, but is this anyway or a trick that we can do?
I got tired from a notification sound that can be Twitter, threads, instagram, my camera app etc?
Is there a solution?

I wish I could get rid of the TriTone sound too. I've heard it so many times it's getting annoying.
But you cannot change notification sounds unless the app supports it. Mona for Mastodon, for instance, does have different notification sounds, and you can even add your own sounds to that one.
Facebook Messenger also supports different notification sounds, but with that app you cannot add new ones.
For the apps mentioned above that support changing sounds, you have to go into their setings and change the sounds, not iOS settings.

It's all up to the app developer with iOS. But, interestingly enough, I think Android lets you change notification sounds and also add custom ones for every app, or at least it used to, so no fair!

DO not know why apple still insists of controling our life.
i think this is not related to security or anything.

You can change the notification sound in Settings but that one sound will be for everything.

I am in the sound screen, and no place to do that,
This is not a solution for sure, but at least to change what am listening to

I'm extremely tired of hearing the tri-tone sound, would be nice if we could at least pick our main notification sound.

why we can not send a request to apple? every apple user should do this, we hate controling our life?
i love Apple's privacy, security, system and so on, but why i can not change even my notification sound?

Wait wait! Stop the presses! You ACTUALLY CAN change the FB. Messenger sound for notifications?! How do you do that?!

They've changed this up recently, but I think I found it again. From your main screen in Messenger, go to the very top, where it says something like β€œAll chats, 0 unread chats.” Once there, toward the top, should be a Settings button. On mine, Settings has 2 buttons, double-tapping the second one actually works. Then a button that says Notifications and Sounds, and then, once in that section, an option that allows you to change the text tone (which is what they call the Messenger sound). You can only pick from a few options built into Messenger, but just about anything is better than the Messenger ding.

My mistake. I was thinking of how you can change ring and text tone sound. Don't know why notification isn't on the list.
