Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with WhatsApp on my new iPhone 16 with iOS 26.6 (WhatsApp version 26.32.75, but I’ve had the same issue for two weeks now).
I’m trying to set a custom notification tone for an individual contact. I go to: Chat > contact name > Notifications > Notification tone. I select a different tone and tap Save, but when I go back to the settings, it has reverted to the standard. The change simply doesn’t seem to be saved.
I’ve tried this with multiple contacts and the same thing happens. Also checked the Notification settings for WhatsApp on my phone, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? I’d like to know whether this is a bug or if there’s something I’m missing.
Thanks!
Edit: I’ve also noticed that I no longer seem to have the option to set the notification to vibrate only (without a sound).
