How do I change notification sound on Google Messages app?

For the life of me I can't find the setting to change the notification sound in the Google Messages app. Am I going crazy?

Long press the messages icon and click that little icon in the top right corner and then go to notifications. You'll be able to pick the sounds from there

Found another way. Open messages, settings, notifications, incoming messages. It seems odd that you tap on that to open it's settings menu, but it works.

4. Scroll to the bottom of that page and enable "Manage notification categories for each app
5. Go back to your home screen and run the Message App
6. Click on your profile picture and select "Messages Settings
7. Click on Notifications
