When iOS 17 launched, Apple up to date a bunch of tones and sounds, altering the default alert from Tri-tone to Rebound. It’s a much less harsh sound, however some complain it’s additionally much less noticeable and maybe quieter, and so they need to return. Till now, they couldn’t.

With iOS 17.2, Apple’s going to do you one higher: Not solely are you able to restore the sound to Tri-tone, you may lastly change the default notification sound and haptics to no matter you need.

First noticed in iOS 17.2 beta 4, all it’s a must to do is open the Settings app, faucet Sound & Haptics, and search for the brand new Default Alerts setting. Faucet that and you may restore the notification sound to Tri-tone (you’ll discover that inside Traditional), or use every other alert sound you want.
