Hello guys! In today's tech tutorial I will show you How to change iPhone's default notification sound to a new sound in IOS 17 and also how to revert back to the iOS 16 notification sound.
Apple altered the default iPhone notification sound in iOS 17, prompting dissatisfaction among many IOS users who found it either too soft or simply preferred the previous notification sound. However, a solution has emerged with the introduction of the iOS 17.2 software update, allowing iPhone users to personalize their alert tone and opt for their preferred sound as their default notifications.
Until now, iPhone sound settings only permitted users to select their ringtone and text tones, even creating custom tones with GarageBand or purchasing them via the tone store. Users had the flexibility to choose alert sounds for various notifications like calls, messages, voicemails, emails, calendar, reminders etc.
However, the ability to modify the default notification sound was previously inaccessible, leaving everyone with the same notification sound. With the introduction of iOS 17.2, Apple has now provided the option to customize this setting.
Before proceeding with the steps below, make sure your iPhone or iPad is running the latest IOS software version. Check for updates;
- Launch the settings app.
- Click on General
- Click on Software updates, to see if an update is there.
How to change iPhone notification sound
1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Navigate to the ‘Sounds & Haptics’ settings pane.
3. Select ‘Default Alerts’.
Choose your new sound for the alert tone, you can pick from an array of built-in sounds, buy a tone from the Tone Store, or choose to use no sound at all.
You can also change the haptic vibration used. Customize the vibration in the Default;
- Click alerts
- Navigate to Haptics screen.
- Press Back to confirm and save your changes.
Upon adjusting the settings as outlined in the procedure above, any forthcoming iPhone notification sounds will adopt to the newly selected sound, specifically for apps using the default alert tone. The customization of default alerts influences the sounds produced by apps like Tiktok and Threads but does not impact those with their unique custom sounds.
It's important to note that the sound utilized by the Apple Messages app is managed separately through the 'Text Tone' preference within the Sounds & Haptics settings.
If you've transitioned from iOS 16 to iOS 17 and find the new alert sound unfavorable, utilize the introduced setting to revert to the previous sound. The default in iOS 17 is named 'Rebound.' To revert back to the iOS 16 notification sound;
- Navigate to Sound settings
- Select 'Tri-one' as the new Default Alerts setting.
