Who the hell had the stupid idea to remove custom text notifications for your contacts

I also had it happen to where my phone updated itself last night and today everything is screwed up with my phone. The one thing that really pisses me off is not being able to have custom text tones for my contacts. Why the hell would they take away the custom contact notification option. I think whoever thought it was a good idea needs to be fired . That is one of the most important features to me.

Let me guess? Samsung S8 Oreo update?

I called Samsung & vented out my complaint. All I got is they will give this feedback to Oreo. So, that was it.....I told him that they should announce similar actions every time a new update is available. I downloaded the free version of Textra & it is working fine. You can customize it(including text messages & individual LED light colors) but it wont communicate with the Samsung watch.

Frustrated that an update took away custom text notifications. I liked customizing to know when family was contacting me vs others.

It is aggravating but Textra is a workaround.
