WhatsApp provides various methods to assist users in maintaining connections and managing communication more effectively. Nevertheless, there are times when it becomes inundated with a surge of text messages, causing us to overlook significant ones that go unread. To remedy this, WhatsApp has recently launched a feature allowing users to assign custom notification sounds for particular contacts, ensuring that you do not overlook any crucial messages and can immediately identify who is reaching out to you without having to glance at your phone screen. Whether you wish to prioritize notifications from family, friends, or professional contacts, designating unique tones can improve your messaging experience and save valuable time.
