Why is my notification sound for message+ automatically choosing default sound?

[Android Central Question]

I used to be able to set a specific sound just for texts, like mentioned here... but now it only makes the default noise, no matter what sound I choose for text messages... any suggestions?

It sounds like the same problem that's affecting the stock Samsung messaging app:

Note that it would have been helpful to have more details, such as the type of phone. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=848714
