How to Change Notification Sound for Each App

Now, let’s get to the main objective: customizing notification sounds for individual apps. Samsung has made this process a bit trickier in the new One UI 6.1 software update, but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it step by step.

Enable per-app notification settings:
- Go to Settings > Sound and vibration > Notifications > Advanced settings.
- Scroll down and toggle on “Manage notification categories for each app.
This how it looks in the settings menu (scroll through screenshots using the carousel arrows):

Customize notification sounds for each app:
- Navigate to Settings > Apps and select the app you want to customize.
- Tap on Notifications and find the Notification Categories submenu.
- Here, you’ll see different categories for that app, such as Direct Messages, Incoming Calls, etc.
- Tap on each category you want to customize and select a unique sound for it.(you can also turn on/off vibration for each category)

While Samsung has made it a bit cumbersome to customize app notification sounds, it’s definitely doable with some patience. Remember to turn off notifications for categories you don’t care about to streamline the process.

I hope you found this tutorial helpful in personalizing your Samsung device.

My "one ui version is 7.0" Using custom notification sounds has become very cumbersome, Is there an APP that could make this easier?

Make your system easier, simplier, PLEASE!
