Facebook and Messenger Alert Tone

Hello, I have a question about the IOS Facebook and Messenger app.  I am trying to find out if it is possible to change the default sound that you get when you get a messenger notification.  It only plays the "ding" and I cannot seem to find an option to change it.  I am using an Iphone 6 with everything up to date. Thanks!

Hey loppydog,
You should be able to change the default alert sounds by going to Settings > Notifications and then select the apps that you want, for you Facebook and Messenger app and select the alert sound that you want.

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Facebook and Messenger app Push Notifications not working.

    I have an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 and my Facebook app and Messenger Push notifications just decided to stop working literally minutes after it just did. How can I fix this? I am running the lastest version of iOS 7 on my iPad and 6.1 on my iPhone. Please, help. I've googled this but there was only one page on the Facebook site that was unhelpful. Thanks, in advance.

    I've already tried reinstalling and restarting both devices.  I now get comment notifications on my ipad but no chat and still nothing on my phone. I don't understand what happened. It was working 2 hours ago.

  • Facebook and Mail both send banner alerts in notification center for every action on facebook

    So I added Facebook to my accounts in Settings.  Then I logged in to Facebook and modified my notification settings so that I would get the notifications I wanted.  Awesome. Works great.  Problem is, these notification settings in Facebook are tied directly to your email on file with facebook -- there's no way (at least that I saw) that allows you to disable getting email from FB, but allow OS X to pull in those same notification settings. 
    So now in Notification Center, everytime someone interacts with my Facebook, I get an alert from Facebook and an alert from Mac Mail that Facebook was alerting me.  Super redundant.
    Anyone find a way around the duplications?

    I'm also having this problem.
    Notifications receives alerts from Reminders app, but not Mail.
    I've set preferences in Mail for 'Inbox Only' and 'All Mailboxes', sent test mail from ISP webmail and Google (Mail is not setup to receive from this account) - still no notifications.
    I had previously used Growl (v1.4) and GrowlMail very successfully (with 10.7), but while upgrading to Mountain Lion I was informed that GrowlMail was incompatible so I deleted it.
    While testing this problem of not receiving Mail Notifications I have disabled Growl and rebooted.
    Like others here:
    Checked: Notifications setup
    Checked: Mail setup
    Rebuilt permissions
    Rebooted
    Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

  • Why are my purchased ringtones and alert tones being removed from phone?

    I Have brought a ringtone and two alert tones twice and both times all have been wiped from phone and default tone put back???

    Try updating to iOS 8.1.2 : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1758 :
    This release includes bug fixes and addresses a problem where ringtones purchased through the iTunes Store may have been removed from your device. To restore these ringtones, visit itunes.com/restore-tones from your iOS device.

  • Custom ALERT TONE for iphone need HELP please.

    I understand how to create a custom TONE as an M4R file and import into itunes into the TONES library.
    When i sync my TONES to my iPhone, it lists as a RING tone.
    My custom ring tones, which are approximately 10 sec long work just fine when set as my RING tone for incoming calls.
    HOWEVER ....
    What i am DESPERATELY trying to do is create a custom ALERT tone and have it LIST as an ALERT tone in my phone and NOT a ring tone. Seems custom tones do not work for sms alerts.
    I searched EVERYWHERE and can not seem to find an answer. I realize apple wants us all to BUY alert tones, but i should be able to create my own too no?
    I created some custom alert tones, approximately 1 sec long each. Converted them to M4R files and sync'd them to my phone.
    In my phone they appear under the RING TONES list and not ALERT TONES.
    Maybe this dosent matter, however, when i try to set my TEXT ALERT SOUND to one of my custom ALERT tones, they do NOT work. My text messages come in without playing the sound.
    Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME figure out how to properly create a TONE as an ALERT TONE for my iphone?
    HUGE THANKS to ANYONE that can help.

    I've never been able to assign custom tones under alerts.  It doesn't matter though as you can assign ringtones as alerts as of iOS 5 I believe.  I had a similar issue with silent alerts, sometimes they would play, other times theywouldn't, but they would always play when selecting them under settings.  Resetting all settings (not content) has so far fixed that issue for me.  Try resetting your settings after you've synced your tones.

  • Mail alert tone

    I cannot seem to figure out how to change the alert tone for mail. Is there a way? I've heard Other iPhones with different mail sounds but not sure how they did it.

    The standard iOS mail app only has two options, no sound, or the default sound. I personally use a third party app that provides push support and custom alert tones for incoming email. The app I use is PushMail.

  • Annoying alert tone whenever I connect to an acces...

    Since I installed SmartConnect (great app), I have this "knock-knock" alert whenever the phone connects to the wifi network.
    So I installed Psiloc Connect only to find this is still the case.
    Then I uninstalled Psiloc and SmartConnect and the alert tone is STILL there.
    I rebooted the phone. 
    Did SmartConnect enable this or is it something else? 
    I deleted and recreated an access point and the alert tone is STILL there.
    I have looked everywhere to shut it up: in Settings/Personalisation/Tones , but there is no tone that sounds like this one. It is also not a standard warning tone as I switched that to off too.
    Anyone an idea? 

    After I booted the E71 clean (7370), and re-installed SmartConnect, I found that SmartConnect was NOT the cause for the alert tone.
    NOTE: Remember to change your App. Mgr Settings to All Software installation and Online Certificate Check to On BEFORE installation of SmartConnect.  If you do not do that you will get a message upon each connection: your phone is not licensed to use this software

  • Facebook and Facebook Messenger message push notifications not working?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 6.1.5 and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. On my iPod touch, Facebook and Facebook Messenger give me notifications for everything. On my iPhone, the Facebook app gives me every notification except for messages. Facebook Messenger, on the other hand, doesn't give me any kind of notification aside from the in-app notifications. I've been missing important messages on my iPhone because of this. I've set all notifications settings on my iPhone to "on." I turned on all the notifications settings in the notification center, the apps themselves, and even the Facebook integrated settings under Settings > Facebook. I also tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling, to hard booting, to logging in and out of the applications, and I even turned off Facebook platform on the computer. I was wondering if this has something to do with being online on both my iPod touch and my iPhone, but my mom has an iPad 3 (I think?) and an iPhone 5s and she never has notification problems. I've already tried Googling my problem up, but none of the solutions worked. I really hope you guys can help me. Thanks a ton in advance!

    I've already tried reinstalling and restarting both devices.  I now get comment notifications on my ipad but no chat and still nothing on my phone. I don't understand what happened. It was working 2 hours ago.

  • Iphone5 plays wrong alert tone for facebook notifications.

    It continues to play the "tri-tone" alert tone, even after I've changed it under Settings<Sounds<Facebook Post.  How do I fix this?

    First, if you want to clean your Mac, get rid of "CleanMyMac."
    I don't know what's causing your problem, so I can only offer an experimental solution. The effects are easily undone if it doesn't work. The real cause may be a bug or something external to your computer.
    Back up all data.
    Close the System Preferences window if it's open.
    Step 1
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Social
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder named "Social" should open. Move that folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the folder you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Go on to the next step. Otherwise, delete the folder you moved.
    Step 2
    Proceed as in step 1, but with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Accounts
    You'll need to recreate your settings for Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks, as applicable.

  • HT1848 I purchased alert tones in itunes and updated my itunes.  Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchased those items, it says I already purchased them.  Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone?

    I purchased many alert tones in itunes and then updated my itunes.  Now my alert tones do not show up, although if I were to go re-purchase those items, itunes says I already purchased them.  Where do I find those tones and how do I get them back into my phone without having to repurchase????  This is so frustrating!  Please Help!

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • My iphone 4's text, keypad and alert tones are no longer working, also Ipod no longer plays without headphones plugged in. Please help!!

    Since about a month now my iphone 4 text/alert tones, Keypad and lock tones and also the music are no longer working. It is not onTone 'None'. When someone calls me it rings no problem but no other sunds seem to work. It only vibrates.
    If I go onto itunes from my phone it also doesnt play the clips of music. Has anyone else had this? I have reset, restored, updated and nothing has worked or helped.

    No the mute button isnt on as it still rings for calls.
    Mine is since that update aswell, I have been blaming that but just wasnt 100% sure. There was an update this week but hasnt sorted it. Im a 4hr drive from nearest apple store so really trying to avoid having to send it away/go to a store with it.

  • Ringtones show and work under change ringtone, but missing in change alert tones...user created tones

    I created ringtones with the Ringtone Converter App.  After syncing my iphone 4s (running ios7.1) with itunes and going into my setting/sounds/alert tones the ringtones i created are not there.  When I go into settings/sounds/ringtones they are there and they work fine.  Is this a problem with ios 7.1 or my phone?  any help would be great!  Thanks...

    In Settings > Sounds > Ringtones > at the top are your custom ringtones.
    In Settings > Sounds > Calendar/Reminder Alerts > your custom ringtones should be there when you scroll down.
    If not, it means your custom ringtones are too long (> 28 secs.) You have to shorten it.

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
