Individual text notification sounds missing

[Depechemark]

Samsung S7, after the new oreo update I can no longer choose individual sounds for text notifications for certain contacts. That option has disappeared. All I see is you can select individual ringtones but not text message notification sounds like before.

Also, lots of discussion of this when the S9 was released with Oreo and when the S8 got it - https://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/878533-no-more-separate-notification-tones-oreo.html

S7 Text notification, custom tones after update OREO 8:
copy audio file from audio folder and paste to :
Myfiles/internal storage/android/media/com.google.android.talk/notifications

then go to settings in message ap and settings general notifications, sounds, select file from list

So, on my S8+ update to Oreo, this was removed but a "fix" was added back in although not a true "fix".

On my LG V20 (Tmobile) I just updated to Oreo and my text notification tones were still there.

Yes, LG keep the per-contact text notification sounds in its 8.0 update.
