Why can i not personalise my text message sounds

[Android Central Question]

Since the last update all my personalised text message sounds that were stored was wiped and the option to personalise them was taken away. They are now all defaulted to the same one. Can anyone tell me how to get them back.

This has been discussed amply throughout the forums (I assume you have a Samsung device that's been updated to Oreo). No way to bring those back if you're using the stock messaging app. Sorry. Using a 3rd party messaging app that still supports per-contact/per-thread customization is the only way (Textra is a popular choice).

Not only Samsung - Android itself. The Pixels on Oreo have no per-contact text notifications.
