Notification sound for 3rd party apps

I desperately need to be able to hear my notifications from 3rd party apps. I also need to be able to customize the sound. What is the status on making that happen?

Hello Karen779,

I see you need some help regarding the notification sound on third party apps.

Please launch setting >notifications >tap the app(s) of which you want to be notified by tapping allow notifications. Then go to tap the <back arrow to go back and click sounds and haptics. Then from sound and vibration patters please select the sound you wish to hear when there’s a notification by changing the sounds of calendar, reminder alerts.

Hope your problem will be solved. If not please contact Apple Support.

Best Regards.
