How do I change my message tone?

[neildexter]

I am new to Android (moved from iPhone). 

 

The Android version installed on my phone is 4.4.2 and my handset is a Huawei Honor 6+.

 

I cannot find anywhere within sound settings, where I can change my message tone. In sound settings, there is an option for phone ringtone, which is the tone when calls are being received. There is also a notification ringtone option. I have changed this, but it does not change my message tone.

 

Would someone be so kind to advise me where I need to go, in order to change my message tone alert. Thank you.

Hi neildexter!

 

It's quite easy to do this. The message sounds are not changed through traditional sound settings. Open your messaging app, and in the message list, tap Settings > Select Ringtone. From there, you should be able to select a pre-installed ringtone or any sort of music you have on your device.

Yes, Just open message then go to settings. Scroll and you will be see ringtone option.

What you can do is just go in the phone setting then choose the sound from the list and then choose Sim notification 1/2. Because it’s a dual sim phone , so it depends on your choice for which sim’s message tone you want to change. Select the required Sim Notification option and then  select tone as per your choice.
