Makes me long for the day when mobile phones only made and received calls. I just got a new Xiaomi 4 as a gift and while it’s a nice gift it’s just another nail in the coffin of animosity I am starting to feel towards tech. Bah….humbug.
I’m using Redmi 3SPrime with MIUI 8.1 – I want to know how to put different notification sounds for different installed apps eg., Yahoo mail, Gmail, Whatsapp, Viber, etc. Pls help. Thanks
as far as I know there are two ways you can do that. you can download and use a third party app notification sound management app to set custom notification sounds for each app on your phone. In fact, many app should already have the settings or option you can customize it notification sound. For example, for WhatsApp on Android phone, you can run WhatsApp, then touch the three dots icon at the top right corner, choose Settings from the drop-down menu, touch Notifications, you can then change the message notifications, group notifications, call notifications and so on. And I can also find this feature on Viber, WeChat on my Android phone. I do not use the yahoo or gmail app, you can try your luck.
