Set text tone to none in a particular contact

Hi Guys,
Anybody knows the work-around on how to set a text tone to "none" for a particular contact in iPhone?
Thanks.

You need to sync a silent ringtone to your phone & then assign it to that contact. Here's one already made:

  • Is there a way to change the ring tone to none for one particular contact?

    I see there is an option to turn the text message settings for a particular contact to 'none'.  Is there a way to change the ring tone to 'none' or 'silent' for only one contact.  This is a person who calls way too often and I used to turn their ringer to 'none' when I had a blackberry.  This way I can talk to this person when it is convenient for me and not have to listen to the ringer everytime they call.

  • All text tones are available in General-Sounds. Some are missing via Contacts-Edit Contact.

    I have confirmed that this issue is also present in the iPhones in the Apple store as of 28-April-2014.  I told one of the guys in the Apple store about it and he said that the iPhones in the store have a custom version, so I asked him to check his own iPhone.  He did, and the issue is present on his phone, so it's definintely a general IOS7 iPhone issue.
    If you go to General -> Sounds -> Text Tone -> Classic, you can see all the classic text tones.
    If you go to Contacts, select a contact, select Edit -> Text Tone -> select Classic, some are missing.
    I used Choo Choo for one of my contacts while I was on IOS6 and when I switched to a new phone with IOS7 and performed a restore, their text tone changed to Tri-tone.  I tried to change it back and saw it was not availble, so I figured they had taken it out of IOS7.  Then I heard a friend's iPhone 5 on IOS 7 who had Choo Choo set up as their default.  I investigated and saw that more Classic text tones were available via General.
    Is there some logical reason why some text tones are not available for Contacts?

    Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
    In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

  • Assigning text tone to particular contact doesn't work on my Mac

    I have been trying to assign text tones to particular contacts in Yosemite by clicking the drop-down while editing my contacts in the Contacts app and choosing the text tone, but it doesn't seem to work. Every time a message comes in from those contacts, it always uses the default alert that is set in the Messages app. What's going on? Is it a bug or something?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I purchased a text tone from Itunes.  It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone.  Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts?  Or I am stuck with factory settings?

  • Is there a way to set a custom made ringtone as a text tone in iOS 5?

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1. I've made custom ringtones and synced them from iTunes and they work perfectly as ringtones. When I go to set a text tone the full list of alert tones is displayed and the standard iPhone ringtones are displayed, but my custom made ringtones do not appear. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

    No idea. I have done exactly that and set my custom ringotne as a sms alert tone. Worked fine
    Make sure youor custom ringotne is less than 30 seconds in length

  • Hi, since doing the latest update my phone makes a strange noise everytime i send or recieve a text even when there is no text tone set?

    hi, since updating my iphone 3gs with latest software it makes a noise when sending/recieving texts even though there is no text tone selected

    Hi Thisslowgt,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone making unexpected sound signals, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I set a new default text tone on my ipod4g?

    I have an ipod touch 4g, and I use the messages app alot. I wanted a new ringtone so I went on Itunes and bought Rues whistle ringtone from the hunger games movie. I went on contacts and set the new ring tone on all of the contacts, making sure to click save, but for some reason it only uses the Tritone. I want to know how to change this. Please reply.

    Go to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and see if you can change it there also.

  • 1 of 5 custom tones won't work with 'Text Tone'

    I have managed to create 5 custom tones that are now on my iPhone 5. All five of the tones work for the 'Ringtone' but only 4 out of the 5 work for the 'Text Tone'.
    This is more about a challenge to find the reason than anything else, because I can get by without the the 5th one working for the 'text tone', but it happens to be the one that is the most relevant for the 'text tone', being "I've gotta get a message to you" by the Bee Gees.
    When I select this particular tone for the 'text tone' the phone does not make a sound, but it vibrates as I have the 'Vibration'  setting set to 'Alert'.
    So, does anyone want to take up the challenge to solve this situation?

    Thanks for the advice. I re-did this particular tone for a length of 25 seconds and it now works. Weird that the other 4 work @ 30 second lengths.  Anyway, thanks again, as I wouldn't have done this without your reply.

  • How can I stop text tones from playing while listening to music?

    When I am using my phone as an iPod I sometimes get multiple texts from people in various group messages. Is there a way to disable the text tones while listening to music?

    Hey there Brett, during the summer I found myself with a broken ringer and it was stuck on full volume. If you go into your setting under sound you will find your text tones, there you will select NONE and theres no noise when you get a text

  • My iPhone 6 Plus will not use any Store downloaded ring or text tones

    My iPhone 6 Plus is updated to 8.1.2  and even after using the "restore tones" utility, none of my Store purchased ringtones or text tones will work.  It doesn't matter if i set them to default, or set them to specific contacts, they won't play.  It will only use tones shipped on the phone.  If I have a custom tone set and get a call or text, it defaults to the Note tone that shipped on the phone.  I can change the tones to any other tone that shipped on the phone, just not to any purchased tone.  I've power cycled the phone, even re-downloaded the tones.  Nothing...
    Any thoughts?
