Greetings, I'm stymied. I need to change the messaging tone on my phone, but cannot find the setting in windows 10 mobile. Any help appreciated!:smile:

Microsoft Messaging is the main feature I use on my Lumia 435 on W10 mobile preview fast ring.
My workplace emits the sounds of the industrial revolution yet my incoming message notification sound emits a sound suitable for the shopping mall or some 12 year old in the schoolyard.
All else Windows10 mobile is great.

On my Lumia 920:

1. Settings.
2. System.
3. Notifications & actions.
4. Scroll down to "Show notifications from these apps". There you should have a list of apps for which you can change the notification sounds.
5. Click on Messaging.
6. Select the notification sound you want.

Unfortunately in this build it looks like we are limited only to the canned sounds or ringtones.

On my Icon running all the insider builds....I could always choose my added ringtones and other added mp3 files for notifications and all. Maybe this ability is hardware limited?

With the last build I had (10549) I could use my custom ringtones. With 10581 I can't. Maybe it's one of those "you can, I can't" things. I've read about plenty of those around here.
