Custom notification sounds are a great way to stay on top of all the notifications on your iPhone without having to check your phone every time. A custom sound can help you easily identify the notification and the app that comes with it. You can then decide whether or not to check your phone, depending on your current workflow. But when it comes to notification sounds and customizing them on iPhone, things can seem a bit complicated. That’s why we have the perfect guide to help you set a custom notification sound for an app on your iPhone. Let’s get started!

So if an app you're using doesn't have this implementation, you may not be able to set a custom notification sound for that app.
