Anyone know where to assign a contact a notification tone?

[Slpsht19]

I've looked all morning and I can't find a way to assign a notification tone for a certain contact?

No longer available in the Samsung messaging App. Download Textra for that feature and more.

It appears this ability has been taken away for some unexplicable reason. I hope it's not an Oreo thing...just an S9 thing. Perhaps it will be corrected in an update?

Are you talking about notification tone for messages? Or a different ringtone?

Specific contact notification tone

You can assign a tone but not from contacts. You unfortunately can only do it in your 'conversations'. If the person has sent you a message, open the conversation and click the 3 dots at the top right of the phone. Tap Notifications, then tap Custom. You're Welcome

You CAN assign a ringtone to a Contact.
Here are the steps:

Go to Contacts.
Tap a Contact to open.
Tap EDIT
Open "View More" at the bottom.
Tap on Ringtone (Probably says Default Ringtone).
This will bring up the Ringtone List.
Tap on the Ringtone you want to use.
Ringtone selected will light up.
DO NOT TAP ON "ADD".
Tap on "Back arrow" to go to previous page.
Tap "SAVE"
Your selected ringtone will be assigned to that Contact.

Even the Samsung Tech Rep said that this was not possible with the current update.
My Verizon Tech Rep told me how to do this.

Please let me know how this works for you.
Have a Blessed Day.

That's a ringtone, and not a notification tone. The notification tone was re-added in later update

OK, Thank You.
