Apple introduced some new audio alerts and ringtones with iOS 17 and also changed the default notification sound from the classic "Tri-tone" to "Rebound". However, many users did not like this change and felt that the new sound seemed quieter. Thankfully, you no longer have to stick to a monotonous sound. Apple released the fourth beta version of iOS 17.2 on November 28, 2023, and it brings a new, much-requested feature, the ability to change the default notification sounds and haptics on an iPhone. This is the first time ever that Apple allows its users to change the sound of default alerts to whatever they prefer. Let's see how to change default notification sound on iPhone.

Note: Currently, the option to change sound and haptics for default notifications is only available in iOS 17.2 Beta 4. The stable version is expected to roll out sometime in December.

So that's how you can change the default notification sound and haptics on your iPhone. It's good to see Apple finally come up with a much-needed customization option. It's a great upgrade for users who always wanted to choose a sound for default alerts. What are your thoughts on this newly added functionality?
