How to Change Snapchat Notification Sound
Jun. 7, 2024Snapchat has a really iconic notification sound, but it isn’t particularly loud, which has caused me to miss out on several chats and snaps. There is also no method to distinguish between distinct notifications. So I can’t tell if it’s a friend texting me or a standard Snapchat Team message. To address these concerns, I’ve compiled a list of methods to help you change the notification sound for Snapchat. Let’s take a look.
Method 1: Change Snapchat Notification Sound from Chat Screen
This is one issue that surely must have bothered a lot of people. Not being able to tell apart whether your friend has sent you a Snap or if you have received a text from Team Snapchat. Well, there is an option within the app itself that lets you set custom notification sound on a per-chat basis. Here is how it works.
NoteThe option to set custom notification sounds for chats is limited to Snapchat+ users only.
Another way to change the chat notification alert is through the Snapchat+ menu. It also lets you change the notification sound for different chats. Like the previous method, this is alsoexclusive to Snapchat+subscribers.
In case you wish to replace the current Snapchat default notification sound for the entire Snapchat app and not just a particular chat then you can do so from Android settings. You also don’t need to be a Snapchat+ subscriber to try this method. The steps might differ for your smartphone, but the general idea remains the same.
You can repeat this process for other categories that you can find on the Snapchat notifications page on Android.
These are some of the methods that you can use to switch from the default notification sound on Snapchat. Sadly, there is no option to change the notification alert on iOS like there is on Android. So you will have to subscribe to Snapchat to change notification sounds on an iPhone. If you have any queries related to this guide, then do share them in the comments below.
