WhatsApp is one of the world's most popular messaging apps, offering a plethora of features for personalized messaging experiences. One such feature allows users to set unique notifications for each contact. This means that you can assign different notification sounds for each of your contacts, helping you recognize who's messaging without even looking at your phone. This article will guide you through the process.
Step 1: Open the Contact's Chat
To begin, open WhatsApp and navigate to the chat of the contact for whom you want to set a unique notification sound.
Step 2: Open the Contact's Info
Tap on the contact's name at the top of the screen. This will open their contact information.
Step 3: Tap on Custom Notifications
In the contact information window, scroll down until you see the 'Custom Notifications' option. Tap on it to open the custom notifications settings.
Step 4: Enable Custom Notifications
At the top of the 'Custom Notifications' screen, you'll see a checkbox or switch labeled 'Use Custom Notifications'. Make sure this is enabled.
Step 5: Set the Notification Tone
Below, you'll see several settings that you can customize. Tap on 'Notification tone' to change the sound that plays when you receive a new message from this contact. You can repeat this process for 'Group Notification tone' if you want a separate sound for group messages.
Step 6: Save Your Changes
After selecting the notification tone, make sure to save your changes. Your settings will now be applied, and you'll hear your chosen sound the next time this contact sends you a message.
With this feature, you can tailor your WhatsApp notifications to your preferences, enabling you to differentiate between contacts based on the notification sound. Whether you want to identify messages from work colleagues or distinguish between family and friends, unique notification sounds can enhance your WhatsApp experience.
